How to make sauteed broccoli with garlic?
First, chop up 2-cups of broccoli florets. Please don’t use frozen ones for this recipe; fresh is definitely better.
Next, grab a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Add in the oil and give it 30-seconds to warm.
Now, toss in the broccoli and stir to coat the vegetable in the oil. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Then, toss in the minced garlic. Again, use fresh garlic, not the briny jarred stuff.
After that, let the mixture cook for another 30-45 seconds. Be sure to keep the vegetables moving in the pan so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Last, pour in the white wine. Stir the sauteed broccoli and garlic as it cooks for another minute or so.
You want the alcohol to evaporate and leave the flavor of the wine in it’s place.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. That’s it, the recipe is done!
Typically, I don’t because I don’t care for mushy veggies. If you like yours extra tender, then you can steam it for 1-2 minutes before sauteing.
Easy, add cheese. For this recipe, I recommend shredded Parmesan just before serving. Other options include, adding crushed red pepper, seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices you enjoy.
