Ingredients

2 heads broccoli, trimmed into florets and steamed for 4 to 5 minutes

Sweet Spicy and Tangy:

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

1 tablespoon light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced

4 to 5 long strips lemon peel

1 teaspoon salt 

Hot Lemon Garlic Oil:

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cloves garlic, smashed and thinly sliced

2 long, wide strips lemon peel

1 lemon, juiced

Salt and about 10 grinds freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Divide the cooked broccoli into 2 serving bowls.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, brown sugar, and chili flakes until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon peel and cook briefly until beginning to turn golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add the vinegar mixture and salt and simmer 2 minutes longer.
  4. Pour dressing over half the broccoli florets and serve immediately.

Hot Lemon Garlic Oil:

  1. Heat the olive oil, garlic, and lemon peel over medium heat and let sizzle gently for a few minutes until garlic is lightly browned. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper and heat for another minute. Pour dressing over half the broccoli florets and serve immediately.

I made this for picky eaters. Everyone loved it! The spicy version was finished first and was so popular, the extra sauce was poured over the "plain" version. Will make this again and again.
