We grow a lot of broccoli in our garden, so I've experimented with different ways to prepare it. It tastes very good and is good for you.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, saute garlic in oil until tender. Add the artichokes and saute for 2 minutes. Add broccoli, salt, pepper and pepper sauce; saute 3 minutes longer or until broccoli is tender. Remove from the heat; sprinkle with lemon juice and Parmesan.
