Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 50 grams Chopped almonds or walnuts
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water.

Step 2

Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.

Step 3

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the blanched broccoli immediately into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let the broccoli cool for 2-3 minutes, then drain well and set aside.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped almonds or walnuts to the skillet and toast them for 1-2 minutes until golden and aromatic, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to evenly coat the nuts and garlic.

Step 7

Add the drained broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them with the nutty garlic mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is heated through.

Step 8

Transfer the nutty broccoli to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish.
