Garlic Broccoli

• 1 large head broccoli (or  2 smaller heads)
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (maybe more depending on quantity of broccoli, you wan the pan coated with a little excess)
• 3 tablespoons water
• salt & pepper (to taste)

I prefer to cook this dish in a cast iron skillet as it provides extra crispness and charing, but  a regular sauté pan works fine

1. Chop broccoli, including stems, into desired size
2. Heat oil in skillet and add garlic
3. Cook for several minutes until garlic it toasted
4. Add broccoli
5. Saute on high 2-3 minutes
6. Reduce heat, add water
7. Cover and cook 5-8 minutes (until broccoli nears desired tenderness)
8. Uncover, return to high heat for 1-2 minutes, until broccoli is slightly toasted and water is cooked off
