4 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash crushed red pepper flakes
In a saucepan, combine the first five ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; add red pepper flakes and toss.

Thoughts: I almost didn't post this because it's so super easy, but I had never in my life thought to season the water that the veggies would steam in, and holy crap, how freakin' delicious!! I actually forgot to add the olive oil to the water, and they were super good, so I don't even know if it would even make a difference in taste. You almost don't even need the pepper flakes unless you wanted a little kick. I'm totally going to try this with every vegetable I can think of...green beans, zucchini, cauliflower, brussels sprouts...the list goes on!
