Slow Cooked Broccoli With Garlic Olive Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Discard tough lower third of broccoli stem. Peel remaining stem and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut broccoli into 2-inch florets. In a steamer set over boiling water steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While broccoli is steaming, finely chop garlic and in a small skillet combine with oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat garlic mixture over moderate heat until garlic is fragrant. In a bowl toss broccoli with garlic mixture.

Steps:

• Steam broccoli over a pot of boiling water, or in a veggie steamer, for about 5 minutes.
• Feel free to steam more or less, depending on how your family likes their veggies cooked.
• Keep in mind that you will also be sautéing the broccoli in the next step.
• In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and saute for about 45 seconds to impart its flavors into the oil.
• Before the garlic begins to brown, add the red pepper flakes and broccoli to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
• Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a 10" skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the broccoli, salt and pepper and toss with the olive oil and garlic until the broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender.
• Remove from the skillet and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them out and then roast, without stirring, until the edges are crispy and the stems are crisp tender, about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat; add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in broccoli stems and cook 2 minutes; add florets and water and cover pan.
• Cook covered 15 minutes; uncover the pan, turn heat up to high and cook just long enough to evaporate any liquid left in the bottom of the pan.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper, and serve.
• ***The cook time in step 3 seems really long to me -- if you make this please let me know if it's right***.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Pick off the coarse leaves from the broccoli stems, and peel away any tough skin with a vegetable peeler. Break up the head into a few large florets, then slice each one lengthwise, cutting through the stem and top to make 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch-thick cross sections. Put the broccoli in a wide saucepan, about 3 inches deep, with a fitted lid.
• Peel and slice the garlic, and add to the pan with 2 cups water, the olive oil and red-pepper flakes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil, then cover the broccoli and simmer on low for about 50 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and just beginning to crumble and the liquid is nearly completely evaporated. If the pot starts to go dry before the cooking time is up, add a splash of water to keep it going.
• Rinse, fillet and chop the salt-packed anchovies, if using. When the broccoli is cooked through, toss with lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and anchovies, if using, then scrape into a serving dish and cover with a drizzle of olive oil and grated cheese. Serve warm, or at room temperature.
