Description

If you think that you don't like broccoli you have to try this dish. It's easy and quick to make but oh so delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 T. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 large head broccoli, (about 5 c.)
• 1/2 t. Kosher salt
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced not minced
• 1 small shallot, sliced into rings
• 1/4 t. red pepper flakes
• 1 T. lemon zest
• 2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps

1. Cut broccoli into florets; cut florets into halves, creating flat bases.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 T. olive oil. When oil is hot, add broccoli, flat sides down, in an even layer. Sprinkle on 1/2 t. salt. Cook broccoli undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip broccoli over; cook until broccoli is tender-crisp, another 2 - 3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a platter, keeping warm; set aside.
3. Turn heat down on skillet to low; add 1/2 T. olive oil. Add garlic, shallot and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 2 - 3 minutes. Turn heat off; add lemon zest and lemon juice; stir.
