    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 1 stars       03/09/2018   Definitely delicious! Of course, more garlic! Only way to go. More pepper flakes too!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/09/2017   This is an excellent recipe. The broccoli partially cooks while the lid is on. When you remove the lid and cook for the remaining four minutes, the water evaporates from the skillet.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/10/2008   I made this for the first time last night. I LOVED it. I only like my broccoli cooked and this is now my new fav. I can't wait for lunch. I have leftovers. :)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/20/2008   I have been told the same thing about microwaving--I rarely use it for that very reason. I don't know where I got that information, but I will look into it and let you know if I find anything.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/23/2008   One of my all time favorite foods (as an adult) is BROCCOLI! Happiness is a big bowl of chopped or cut broccoli (from bags of frozen, then microwaved) either alone or with frozen corn and a touch of Smart Balance mayo and/or a sprinkling of finely shredded cheeses and garlic croutons. My concern is that there could be a loss of up to 75% of the antioxidant content through the microwaving process. Does anyone have a reliable source to confirm this information?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/10/2008   I love broccoli and this is my favorite way to cook it. We REALLY like garlic so I usually throw 2 or 3 large cloves in and use a bit more than 1/2 t of pepper flakes. I steam the broccoli right in the pan with just a little water so there is no reason to drain, it evaporates right off. I usually squeeze a half a lemon over it too. Great way to spice up almost any meal!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/08/2008   Where's the garlic?!?!?!?!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/02/2008   I put a little water in the fry pan, covered it and let the brocs steam in the skillet. It doesn't take too long for the water to evaporate even with the cover on. I wouldn't have thought to use vinegar as I've always just added a splash of fresh lemon juice, but since the recipe doesn't specify which type of vinegar to use, I used seasoned rice vinegar and it really added a nice touch. I"ll definitely prepare brocs this way again.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/31/2008   I think they may have left out a step. After the broccoli has simmered in the water, shouldn't it be drained, returned to the pan and then continue with step 3?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/15/2008   It sounds good but I think I missed something. How much water am I cooking the broccoli in? If I'm covering the broccoli do I drain the water before I add the olive oil and other ingredients?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/19/2007   It's pretty good.
