Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of toasted almonds or walnuts (optional for extra crunch and nutrients)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. If you prefer, you can also peel and slice the stems to include them in the dish.
2. Heat the Pan:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced red onion, and sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Cook the Broccoli:
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well to coat the broccoli in the oil, garlic, and onion mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
4. Add Lemon Juice and Seasoning:
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the broccoli, and season with salt and pepper to taste. The lemon juice not only adds a fresh, zesty flavor but also helps enhance the absorption of iron from the broccoli.
5. Optional Additions:
