• Ready in 5 minutes
• Prep 2 minutes
• Cook 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or other cooking oil
• 6 cups broccoli florets
• Pinch of coarse (kosher salt)
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is rippling and hot. Add the broccoli in a mostly single layer and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let the broccoli "roast" in the hot skillet for 30 seconds or so and then give it a good stir. You can let it keep browning for a minute for more flavor or move on to the next step.
2. Pour in the broth, immediately cover the skillet with a lid (or foil), and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the broccoli simmer for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Add additional time if you want the broccoli more tender.
3. Remove from the heat, add seasonings to taste (additional salt or variations below), and serve.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
