4 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, minced ( approximately 1/3 cup)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 bunches broccoli florets, chopped ( about 6 cups?)
2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 oranges, zest of
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
freshly cracked black pepper
Directions:
In large saute pan, saute olive oil, garlic, shallots and red pepper flakes over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes, just until garlic and shallots are soft, being careful not to burn!
Add the chopped broccoli to pan and saute 1 minute. Add the orange juice, vinegar and salt. Cover pan, and steam for 3-4 minutes ONLY until broccoli is tender. Do not overcook. The broccoli once cooked, should be firm-tender and very green.
