Spicy Sauteed Broccoli Recipes

SAUTEED GARLIC BROCCOLI - SPICY

Steps:

• Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces.
• Boil in salted water for about 5 to 7 minutes (broccoli should just start to soften).
• Rinse under COLD water (to stop the cooking).
• Dry to remove any excess water.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot.
• Add the garlic and pepper flakes.
• Sauté for 1 minute.
• Add the broccoli and "some" of the broth. (I say "some" as you don't want it soaking in it, you just want it to help steam and add flavor)
• Cook for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on the way you like your broccoli, tender or crisp) stirring the entire time. Season lightly with table salt.
• As everyone has their own tastes, increase or decrease the garlic and or pepper flakes as desired.

SPICY SAUTEED BROCCOLINI WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Cook Broccolini in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until stems are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then plunge into a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add half of garlic and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and sauté, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add half of Broccolini and 2 tablespoons stock and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, then repeat with remaining oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, Broccolini, and stock. Season with salt.

Add the broccoli, toss to coat with the oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken stock and hot chili sauce, raise the heat to high, and cook until the broccoli is just tender, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately with grilled shrimp, if using.
