Broccoli with Garlic Chips Time: 25 minutes
Fry the garlic until it is a lovely golden brown. The little chips are very tasty; not at all sharp like raw garlic, but not creamy like roasted. If you prefer less garlic, just use the flavored oil - and let someone else munch on the chips.
1 small head of broccoli or 1/2 large head left from last week, perhaps?
3 tbs olive oil
4 cloves garlic
regular or seasoned salt and pepper if desired
Cut broccoli into bite size florets and stems. Put in a steamer basket in a saucepan with an inch of water in bottom. Put on medium heat and steam for 10 - 15 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and put into a serving dish. Pour oil over the broccoli, sprinkle with garlic chips and pepper and serve.
For garlic chips: Slice garlic as thin as you can (peel it first - but you know that). Put olive oil in a small frying pan and, over medium heat, fry garlic chips until brown and very crisp, - about 10 minutes. Mind them so they don't burn. Remove chips and drain on paper towels. Keep oil warm until needed.
