Ingredients

    4-5 cups chopped fresh broccoli or frozen broccoli florets
    2 large garlic cloves, sliced thinly
    1 tbsp black mustard seeds
    2 tsp red pepper flakes
    2-3 tsp water
    non-stick cooking spray (optional)
    fresh ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Parboil or steam the chopped broccoli until bright green and crisp-tender. Put into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set aside.

In a dry or lightly oiled (as with a quick spray of non-stick spray), toast the mustard seeds over medium heat until they begin to pop and become fragrant. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and 2-3 tbsp water. Steam-fry until the garlic becomes soft and most of the water evaporates.

Add the broccoli and black pepper. Toss the broccoli until it is heated through and the mustard seeds and red pepper flakes are evenly distributed over the florets. Serve immediatly.

Makes 4 small (1-1 1/2 c) servings or 2 generous servings.
