Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 50 ml water
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets.
Cut the large yellow onion in half, peel it, and thinly slice it.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté them for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and lightly caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the ground cumin, ground black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the onions with the spices.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to combine with the onion and spice mixture.
Pour the water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the broccoli steam for 5 minutes, or until it is tender yet still crunchy.
Remove the lid and stir the mixture to allow any remaining water to evaporate, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the broccoli and onion mixture to a serving dish and serve warm.
