Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 80 grams sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 50 grams pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

While waiting for the water to boil, trim the broccoli into bite-sized florets and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Once the water is boiling, add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet used for toasting the pine nuts, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and slice them into thin strips. Add them to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine, cooking just until heated through.

Step 9

Season the mixture with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then toss well to coat.

Step 10

Transfer the broccoli mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
