   The best way to cook broccoli for tenderness and a deep-green color is in a pressure cooker on a medium heat for 15-20 min, but it can also be steamed till soft, then blanched/dunked in ice water, briefly, to set the color.

   Once the broccoli is cooked, use a pastry brush to brush on the garlic puree, then dunk each stalk in the grated cheese to thoroughly cover the florets.
