Broccoli With Garlic and White Wine

Kozmic Blues's Note:

While looking for something different to do with broccoli this Thanksgiving, I came across this recipe from Mario Batali. The original recipe uses lemon AND orange zest. Because I am not a big fan of "orange" flavors in recipes, I decided to try this with just the lemon.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 lb broccoli, cut into spears, lengthwise
• 6 ounces dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon red chili pepper flakes
• 2 lemons, zest of

Directions:

1. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and garlic until just sizzling.
2. Add the broccoli and cook, tossing regularly for 8 to 10 minutes, until the stem is tender.
3. Use the wine to slow the cooking down if the garlic begins to brown.
4. When the broccoli is tender, add the chile flakes and zest and place on a platter.

Very good.

What a nice change from "steamed" broccoli! We loved this. The flavors are really nice. Used about 1/8 cup of wine. I used flowerettes instead of spears. Thanks for posting this!
