Skillet Broccoli

Directions

1. 1
   Peel the broccoli stem and cut off the very bottom piece. Cut it lengthwise into quarters.
2. 2
   Put the water and broccoli into a skillet just big enough for it to fit in one layer. Cover and turn the heat to medium.
3. 3
   Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
4. 4
   Uncover, and salt to taste. Turn the heat to high and cook until the water all boils off.
5. 5
   Drizzle on the olive oil, and continue to cook for a few minutes, turning the broccoli pieces with tongs, until it's getting browned in places.
6. 6
   Sprinkle with hot red pepper flakes before serving.
