By peridot728

Ingredients

• 1 head broccoli
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Trim the woody skin off the broccoli stem and slice the broccoli into nice long "trees".

In a large saucepan, mix the water, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cover to steam. After 3 minutes, turn off the heat, and allow the broccoli to sit for another couple of minutes. Toss to coat and serve.
