SICILIAN-STYLE BROCCOLI

Category: Broccoli

1 bunch broccoli (1 1/4 lbs)
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp capers, rinsed
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup water
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Cut off and separate broccoli florets. Trim the tough ends of the stalks; peel the stalks if desired and cut crosswise into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add capers and garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli florets and stalks and water; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until any remaining water evaporates, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 4
