Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts (canned or frozen, drained and quartered)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, freshly grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
If using frozen artichoke hearts, thaw them according to package instructions. If using canned artichokes, rinse and drain them well. Quarter them if not pre-cut.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly golden and heated through.
Step 5
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Toss gently to combine with the artichoke hearts and garlic.
Step 6
Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add red pepper flakes if desired for a touch of spice.
Step 7
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Step 8
Transfer the broccoli and artichoke hearts to a serving dish and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
