Broccoli is packed full of nutrients that we could all do with more of. When cooked with garlic and extra virgin olive oil it tastes delicious.

Ingredients

• 500g broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• ¼ cup almond flakes

Broccoli with garlic and almonds

In a saucepan, place the broccoli and cover with cold water and salt.

Bring to the boil and remove from heat and drain. Place a lid on the pan to keep warm.

In a frying pan, heat the olive oil until hot and add the garlic and broccoli.

Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the almonds and cook for a further minute.
Serve immediately.

Notes

• This broccoli just needs to be blanched and flash fried in a very hot pan so it keeps its great flavours and nutrients.
• This may need a little salt but I like to leave that up to the individual.
