Steamed Broccoli In Basil, White Wine And Garlic Broth The flavor of broccoli with fresh basil is incredible, and the white wine and garlic combination is not overpowering. This is a great side dish for roasted or grilled meats and seafood. Try some spaghetti or linguine with this dish for a simple but extremely flavorful vegetarian meal. Garnish with soy Parmesan and fresh basil. Makes 4 servings.
	Ingredients: 1 bunch broccoli (approximately 1 1/2 pounds) 1/2 cup white wine Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 cloves garlic, halved 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
	Instructions: 1. Clean and trim the broccoli. Cut off the large stems, peel and slice. Set the sliced stems aside. Chop the florets in half lengthwise and keep in large clusters. 2. In a shallow saucepan with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add the sliced broccoli stems and cook for 5 minutes. Add the basil and wine, and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli florets, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and add the red pepper flakes, if desired. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover, steam for 6 to 8 minutes, and serve.
