Steamed Broccoli with Garlic and Chili Flakes
5 mins prepServes 2
This simple recipe for lightly steamed broccoli helps retain nutrients and makes it easier to digest. It's seasoned with fresh garlic, good olive oil, a hint of chili, and a squeeze of lemon for a perfect bite.
Lightly steam the broccoli for about 6-7 minutes. Take it off the heat just before you think it's done, as it will continue to cook and remain a bright green color with a slight bite. Grate 1 large clove of garlic with a microplane. In a bowl, combine the grated garlic with 2-4 tablespoons of really good olive oil. Gently massage the garlic and olive oil into the steamed broccoli with your hands. Sprinkle with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and some chili flakes. Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon for perfection.
