To deliciously steam broccoli, you don't need to get out the steamer. Simply simmer the florets in a saucepan with a little water, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. The broccoli will be tender and juicy, with a wonderfully spicy flavor. Use the entire head, including the large stems, after removing the tough skin. It's a great side dish for any meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of broccoli
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp ground red pepper flakes or sesame seeds
