Caramelized Broccoli With Garlic

Found this in food & wine magazine, 10/07 edition. It is fast, healthy, vegetarian, and delicious! I enjoyed preparing it, as well as eating it! the broccoli is slowly caramelized to bring out its sweetness, then enlivened with a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of crushed red pepper and some toasted cashews :) .update: 11/07/2008 it has been suggested by a few who have reviewed the recipe that they would increase the amount of garlic, so maybe it would make for a nice change!! ;)

Steps

In a large , deep skillet , heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
Add the broccoli , cut side down , cover and cook over moderate heat until richly browned on the bottom , about 8 minutes.
Add the water , cover and cook until the broccoli is just tender and the water has evaporated , about 7 minutes.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the garlic and the crushed red pepper and cook uncovered until the garlic is golden brown , about 3 minutes.
Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper , drizzle with the lemon juice , toasted cashews and serve.
