Delicious! Made it for a dinner party tonight and it got rave reviews. And one of the best parts, is that it was so easy to make. The white wine is a must, regardless if the garlic is browning or not. Add it during the last few minutes of cooking. Will definitely be made many more times. I'm always looking for a nice way to spruce up broccoli and this was fantastic.

Great broccoli recipe! I used frozen broccoli (thawed) and just eye-balled the ingredients. Instead of lemon zest, I added feta cheese in the last few minutes of cooking. MMMM!

I used probably half the oil & just a dash of the pepper flakes. Dont add the garlic until the last minute. After tasting, I decided to add a little concentrated chicken stock, perfection! Thanks for sharing. This will be a repeat. I saw one reviewer added feta at the end, I was intrigued.

We did not care for the wine flavor.
