Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Can use the stems from the broccoli also, just trim the outside tough skins and chop, you can adjust the garlic to taste. Feel free to add in a red bell pepper also if desired!

Easy, good balance of flavors. Would suggest steam broccoli 1-2 minutes with sauce at the end.

Very good! I used the full 2 tbsp of garlic (maybe a little more, we love garlic!) Simple, quick, not to salty, or sweet, great over rice! Thanks!
