SAUTEED BROCCOLI

Ingredients:
Broccoli - 700 gms
Peanut oil or vegetable oil - 3 tbsp
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

• Trim the leaves and coarse stem ends from the broccoli.
• Wash the broccoli and pat it dry with absorbent paper.
• Cut the florets from the stems, then divide them into smaller florets, roughly 3/4 to 1 1/2" long.
• Halve any unusually chunky stems vertically. Slice the stems diagonally, about 1/4" thick.
• Heat oil in  a large frying pan; add the broccoli, lower the heat to moderately high, and cook, stirring continuously, for 4-5 minutes or until the broccoli is almost tender, but still crisp.
• Add the salt and pepper, and toss well.
