The Method
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 2
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- 3
Add the purple sprouting broccoli to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic-infused oil.
- 4
Pour in the vegetable broth, add the lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- 5
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce heat to low and braise for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still slightly crisp.
- 6
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate.
- 7
Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the broccoli and toss to combine.
- 8
Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of butter or a drizzle of olive oil at the end.
If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water with a bouillon cube.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat.
Serve as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
