   Cut the broccoli into florets. Then cut all but very small florets in half. Quarter any very large florets. Pat dry to remove any moisture on the broccoli.

3. 3

   Then stir the broccoli and continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.

4. 4

   Pour in the water and immediately cover the pan. Cook for 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Uncover the pan and stir in the minced garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the salt, pepper and lemon zest over the broccoli. Stir to distribute. Serve immediately.
