ROASTED BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER

GARLICKY SAUTEED BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the broccoli and cauliflower in a single layer, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, undisturbed, until the undersides are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until browned all over and crispy and tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Reduce the heat to medium and push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the empty side and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Mix the garlic into the vegetables and add a large splash (about 3 tablespoons) of water. Squeeze in half a lemon, if using. Cook, stirring, until the juices have evaporated.

• While the cauliflower is browning, slice broccoli in the same way as the cauliflower and brush with some remaining oil.
• Cook the broccoli just as you did the cauliflower - till brown on both sides and tender. Remove from skillet & place on platter with the cauliflower.
