Broccoli with Garlic

Grandma had lots of simple, but really delicious recipes.  She even made broccoli taste good when we were kids.  That's almost unheard of . . .

1 lb broccoli
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper

Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.  Steam for five minutes in a saucepan over high heat.  (I use my Pampered Chef steamer for this - it fits perfectly into the bottom of my 4-quart saucepan.)  Do not overcook - broccoli should be tender crisp.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Slice the garlic into thin slices.  Cook the garlic in the oil for about 3 minutes - it should start to brown.  Remove the garlic from the oil.

Drain the steamed broccoli well.  Add the broccoli to the skillet and saute over medium heat for 3 minutes.  Transfer to a serving  bowl.  Sprinkle with the garlic and season to taste with salt.
