Garlic & Sesame Broccoli image

This is an adaptation of recipe #17398 by Risë. I was out of red pepper flakes so I substituted Sesame Seeds instead.

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil (light)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 lbs broccoli

Steps:

  • Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces.
  • Boil in 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 sesame seeds.
  • Sautee 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 sesame seeds as desired.
