Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g broccoli florets
- 50 g sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets under cold water, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic and oil.
Cook the broccoli for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still retains a slight crunch.
Meanwhile, in a separate small skillet, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the broccoli is cooked, season it with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top of the broccoli and give it one final toss.
Transfer the almond broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately. Enjoy!
