Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
While the oil is heating, finely chop the garlic cloves.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and golden.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to ensure they are coated with garlic and oil.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the broccoli for spiciness.
Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper, stirring continuously.
Reduce the heat to medium and cover the skillet. Allow the broccoli to cook covered for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still crisp.
Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Add the soy sauce and lemon juice, stirring to coat the broccoli evenly.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and the broccoli to char slightly.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
