Spicy Sauteed Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces.
• Boil in salted 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 pepper flakes.
• Sauté 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 pepper flakes as desired.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the broccoli florets. Trim the stalk and cut it into pieces. Blanch the broccoli for 3 to 7 minutes. Test to see if it is done after 3 minutes. Shock broccoli in ice water when it is done.
• Heat a skillet and add the butter. Add broccoli. Toss to coat and heat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli and toss until tender and it begins to color, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the broccoli with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the chicken stock and cover to steam for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Cut 1 bunch broccoli into florets; peel and slice the stems. Put in a steamer basket over boiling water; cover and cook 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Whisk 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon each Sriracha and lemon juice, and salt. Drizzle on top.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a nonstick pan. Add garlic and pepper flakes to the hot oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add broccoli and stir until well coated in oil. Add water and cover the pan. Steam until tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook Broccolini in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until stems are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then plunge into a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add half of garlic and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and sauté, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add half of Broccolini and 2 tablespoons stock and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, then repeat with remaining oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, Broccolini, and stock. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat; season generously with salt. Blanch broccoli rabe until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes.
