How to cook broccoli in a pan

  1. First of all, let's deal with cleaning broccoli. Remove all leaves and white or light green pieces that are too hard. Once done, wash them under running water and cut them into florets (if you want you can also cut the hard part of the stem and cut the soft inside into slices and cook it together with the rest of the vegetable)
  2. Let's now move on to cooking the broccoli: blanch the vegetables in salted water for about 5-10 minutes . You can also add a drop of lemon to prevent the bad smell from cooking from spreading throughout the house.
  3. Pour the oil into the pan, add the poached garlic and the chilli pepper, then dip the broccoli and sauté until a delicious and inviting crust has formed (if needed you can also add a little water to make the side dish creamier).
