Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sprouting broccoli or Broccolini (4 bunches)
Kosher salt
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced (2 tablespoons)
2 dried Italian chiles, such as peperoncini, crushed (1 teaspoon)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook broccoli in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until very tender and darkened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes; drain.
  • In a large saucepan, heat oil, garlic, and chiles over medium. Begin stirring when bubbles form around edges of garlic slices. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until garlic is soft and fragrant but hasn't taken on any color, about 3 minutes.
  • Add broccoli and reduce heat to low; season with 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring gently a few times, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter; let cool completely. Serve with lemon wedges.
