Broccoli With Red Pepper Flakes And Garlic Chips - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 -4 garlic cloves, sliced crosswise into thin slices
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 lbs broccoli

Preparation

In a small skillet over medium-low heat combine the olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes.
Heat, stirring frequently, just until the garlic begins to turn golden on the edges, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat, strain through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the oil and garlic in separate containers.
Cut the broccoli into florets, trimming the stalks until they are about 1-2 inches long.
Place the cut broccoli in steamer basket over boiling water, cover tightly and stem until crisp tender, 4-6 minutes.
Place broccoli immediately into a serving dish, sprinkle with garlic flakes and 1 tablespoon of the oil.
Serve.
The remaining oil can be saved and used in other dishes later.
