Sauteed Broccoli with Red Pepper

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

4 cups broccoli (, cut in largish pieces)

1 red bell pepper (, de-cored and de-seeded, cut in strips)

4 Tbsp olive oil (or oil of choice)

2 Tbsp garlic (, minced (about 4 large cloves)

salt (to taste)

½ tsp black pepper (, more to taste)

Directions

Preheat large skillet on medium (I love using cast iron, but not necessary here).

Add oil, garlic, bell pepper, broccoli, salt, and black pepper and stir.

Cover and cook on medium for 5 minutes.

Uncover, stir, and cook 3-5 minutes more or until broccoli is just softening, stirring a few times to prevent scorching. Don't overcook. Broccoli is best when still a bit crunchy but starting to soften. Cook longer according to your preference.
