Ingredients
- 400 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
While the oil is heating, finely chop the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and golden.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to ensure they are coated with garlic and oil.
Step 6
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the broccoli for spiciness.
Step 7
Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper, stirring continuously.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to medium and cover the skillet. Allow the broccoli to cook covered for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still crisp.
Step 9
Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Add the soy sauce and lemon juice, stirring to coat the broccoli evenly.
Step 10
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and the broccoli to char slightly.
Step 11
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Step 12
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
