2 lbs broccoli, tough ends trimmed, stems peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish
Cut broccoli stems into coins; cut heads into flowerets. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, 45 seconds. Add broccoli; cook, stirring constantly, until broccoli is bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth; cover and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and toss. If serving warm, add pine nuts; toss and serve. If serving cold, cool slightly, place in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. Just before serving, add pine nuts and toss. Garnish with thin shavings of Parmesan cheese.
