BEST BRAISED BROCCOLI



Preparation time: 10 minutes
Yield: serves four

This is one of my favorite cooking methods.  It brings out the singular and special flavor of broccoli.  Most people who do not like broccoli have had over-cooked broccoli. 

1 bunch broccoli
1-tablespoon olive oil
¼-cup water
salt and pepper to taste

Cut the top part of the broccoli off the stalk.  Cut into same size flowerets.  Peel the tough skin off the stalk and chop into a similar size. 


Heat pan, warm oil, and then using a spatula keep the broccoli moving until lightly coated with the oil and heated evenly.  Add the water and cover for about 10-minuets.  The broccoli should be tender crisp and still green. 

Add salt and pepper  to taste and serve. 

If you choose not to add the broccoli stalks to the flowerets, save and cut peeled stalks into disks to add an unusual crispy veggie to your salad.
