Broccoli with Golden Raisins and Garlic
Buy broccoli with compact bright green florets and sturdy (not bendable) stalks.
Enjoy.

ingredients

1 large bunch
broccoli (1 ½ pounds)
2 tablespoons
olive oil
2 cloves
garlic, sliced
¼ cup
golden raisins
¼ teaspoon
red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon
kosher salt

directions

Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and fit it with a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil. Cut the broccoli into florets, leaving 2 to 3 inches of stem attached. Place in the basket, cover and steam until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the basket and broccoli and pour out the water. Wipe out the pan to remove excess water and return it to medium heat with the oil. Add the garlic, raisins and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the broccoli and salt and, using a large spoon, stir to combine.
