Broccoli with Artichoke Hearts


Broccoli with Artichoke Hearts

1 head broccoli, cut into flowerets
1/2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
pinch of minced dried hot chile or to taste
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (6 oz.) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and halved
juice of 1 lime, or 1 lemon

Bring a small amount of water to a boil and steam broccoli flowerets until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process, drain and set aside. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add hot chile and garlic. Cook 1 minute. Stir in artichoke hearts and cook abut 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in broccoli and lime or lemon juice. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve immediately.
