SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

SKILLET BROWNED BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
• While it's heating, slice the cauliflower from top to bottom in 1-inch thick slices. Brush both sides with oil; salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the cauliflower slices in the hot skillet, pressing them down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until nicely browned; flip them over and cook till brown and tender. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
• While the cauliflower is browning, slice broccoli in the same way as the cauliflower and brush with some remaining oil.
• Cook the broccoli just as you did the cauliflower - till brown on both sides and tender. Remove from skillet & place on platter with the cauliflower.
• Add remaining oil (about 2 tsps) to the skillet and sauté the garlic, stirring constantly, till lightly browned - 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to absorb any remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the broccoli around the outside of a serving platter and place the cauliflower in the center of the circle.
• Sprinkle with garlic pieces & drizzle with the olive oil.
• Serve warm.

SAUTEED BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Mix cut-up broccoli and cauliflower, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let stand an hour, if possible.
• Heat oil in a large saute or fry pan until very hot.
• Add vegetables all at once, spreading in an even layer. Do not stir until bottom of layer begins to brown.
• Flip and stir to get unbrowned pieces to bottom. Let cook until beginning to brown.
• The trick here is to keep heat high and brown pieces without overcooking or burning them. If pieces are browned, but not soft enough for your taste, turn off heat and cover pan for a few minutes.
