The whole family loves it.

I use the term “recipe” loosely.

It’s really just an everyday method to get quick flavor into just aboutanygreen vegetable.

Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl the pan to coat.

Cook, undisturbed, until the broccoli is deeply browned on one side, about 2 minutes.

Stir the broccoli and continue to saute, stirring regularly, for 2 more minutes.

Add the water and quickly cover the pan with a lid.

Cook, undisturbed, until the broccoli is almost as tender as you like it, about 2 minutes.

It should still retain a bright green color.

Make a well in the center of the pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Immediately stir everything together.

Continue stirring constantly so the garlic doesn’t burn.

After about a minute, the garlic should be softened and the broccoli nicely flavored and perfectly tender.

Here are some suggestions for how to adapt it for other green veggies:
