Garlic Butter Broccoli

Introduction:
The science of cooking broccoli is all in the heat and color.  The heat will still drive out the air bubbles to give the bright green color, and overcooking will still break down the chlorophyl to give the dull green color.

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch broccoli, cut into small pieces, stalked peeled and thinly slices
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper 

Steps: 

• Cook broccoli in lightly salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes 
• Add the butter and garlic to the saucepan and cook until the garlic is soften, 1 to 2 minutes
• Toss wit the salt and a few grinds of pepper

Results: 

This was so yummy!!  The heads of the broccoli got so soaked in butter, which made this dish really, really good. The broccoli was pretty easy to over cook, especially since it cooks itself a little when it's sitting there waiting to be eaten.
