Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the pine nuts. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove the pine nuts from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic-infused oil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cover it with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and season the broccoli with salt and black pepper. Drizzle in the lemon juice and toss everything together.
Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the broccoli and give it a final stir. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
