Ingredients:
- 1 medium head broccoli (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
- Prep the broccoli. Rinse the broccoli. Trim off and discard the woody lower part of the stem (likely an inch or half an inch). Cut the remaining stem off from the head. With a vegetable peeler, peel the outer layers of the stem off and discard them. Cut the tender centers into coins across the grain, then chop those up into little bits. Shred up the blossom ends of the broccoli. You’re aiming for pieces between the size of a pea and an almond.
- Cook the broccoli. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat for a minute or less. Add the olive oil; when it shimmers, add the broccoli. Stir it around every minute or so. Season generously with salt. After 5 minutes of cooking, reduce the heat incrementally so the broccoli does not burn. You’ll end at medium heat. Some bits will get charred and brown, while others steam and become soft and sweet. After about 10 total minutes of cooking, your broccoli will be ready. The volume will have reduced by about half, and there will not be any raw pieces of broccoli left.
- Season and serve. Taste the broccoli, and, if needed, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot. Leftovers will keep about 5 days in the refrigerator, or 6 months in the freezer.
