Ingredients
- 1 head (about 1 pound) broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cups dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the broccoli and cut it into small florets. Peel the stem and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Slice the garlic cloves thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets and stems to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 5
Pour in the white wine and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still has a slight crunch.
Step 6
Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the liquid to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it on its own!
