Trim the ends of the tenderstem broccoli and cut any big ones in half lengthways – the aim is that all the broccoli spears should be roughly the same size.
Place the olive oil and the prepared broccoli in a large saucepan or wok, over a high heat, and stir fry for 2 minutes – until just starting to get tinged with brown.
Turn the heat right down and add a splash of boiling water. Cover with a lid and allow to steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is almost done.
Keep the heat turned down low and add the chopped garlic. Stir fry for 1 minute. Do not let the garlic burn!
Tip onto a serving platter and squeeze over the juice of ½ a lemon - or to taste. (See Note 1.)
Finally scatter over a little sea salt - to taste. (I find about 4 twists of my salt mill is perfect for my tastes.)
Serve with your favourite Nando’s chicken dishes!
Notes
DO NOT add the lemon juice while the broccoli is still in the pan. I’m not sure why (I’m guessing some kind of chemical reaction?), but it turns the broccoli brown and it looks very unappetising!
Not suitable for freezing.
