Ingredients

• 500 g Broccoli
• 50 g Desiccated Coconut
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 tsp Red Chili Flakes
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 2 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the broccoli and cutting it into small florets. Leave them to drain in a colander.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly golden.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic.

Step 6

Add 2 tbsp of water to help steam the broccoli. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for approximately 5 minutes, until the broccoli becomes tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Remove the lid and continue to cook the broccoli uncovered for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until any remaining water evaporates.

Step 8

Stir in the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Add the desiccated coconut to the skillet and toss it with the broccoli. Let it toast for about 2-3 minutes until the coconut turns a light golden brown.

Step 10

Squeeze the lemon juice over the broccoli and coconut mixture, stir well, and then remove the skillet from heat.

Step 11

Transfer the fried broccoli with desiccated coconut to a serving dish and serve hot.
