Broccoli with Garlic Chips  

Total 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.

 Ingredients:

• 1/2 medium - large head of broccoli
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• a bit of sea salt if desired

 Instructions:

• Cut broccoli into small 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 8 - 10 minutes or until just done. 
• Remove from pan and put into a serving dish.
• Pour oil over the broccoli, sprinkle with garlic chips and serve.
• For garlic chips: Slice garlic as thinly 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.
