Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly under running water.
- Cut the broccoli into florets, and slice the stems into thin pieces if desired.
- Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
- Drain the broccoli immediately and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden brown.
- Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
- Add the drained broccoli to the skillet with the garlic and olive oil. Toss to coat the broccoli evenly.
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the broccoli and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is fully coated and heated through.
- Pour the chicken gravy over the broccoli mixture.
- Stir gently to coat the broccoli with the gravy. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the gravy is warmed and well combined with the broccoli.
- Add a dash of salt to taste, if needed.
- Transfer the garlic broccoli with chicken gravy to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- Use fresh, firm broccoli for the best texture and flavor.
- When sautéing garlic, be careful not to burn it. Burnt garlic can impart a bitter taste to the dish.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add more red pepper to taste.
- To prepare a smoother chicken gravy, make sure it is well whisked to avoid lumps.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken gravy with a mushroom or vegetable gravy of your choice.
Enjoy your garlic broccoli with chicken gravy as a savory and nutritious side dish that complements any main course. The combination of garlic, broccoli, and chicken gravy provides a flavorful experience that's sure to become a favorite in your household.
