Ingredients
Instructions
-
Rinse broccoli. Cut off the thick stem where it meets stalks, and reserve. Quarter the floret stalks lengthwise into small, thin pieces. Peel the tough skin from the reserved thick stem, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch medallions. Set aside.
-
Toast sesame seeds in a large nonstick skillet over low heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl, and set aside.
-
Place olive oil and garlic in the skillet over low heat. Toast garlic, stirring frequently, until garlic is deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add pepper flakes to the hot oil, and stir. Transfer to a small bowl, and set aside. Toss broccoli, salt and ¼ cup water in the same skillet, cover, and set over high heat. Cook until broccoli is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 4 minutes. Uncover the skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Stir in garlic and oil, Tamari and orange peel. Transfer to a warm serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
