pan roasted broccoli with almonds -- gluten free + dairy free

my mom is in town and we're hitting it hard. tomorrow i turn the big 3-0 so were out and about enjoying the final hours i have left in my twenties. this isnt going to be an extensive post, as this week has been a tad hectic. however, i wanted to be sure to share a new recipe with you.

this ultra delicious and ultra healthy side dish is a great accompaniment to any main dish - be it chicken, fish, or red meat. pan roasted broccoli is cooked every so quickly then with the addition of tamari, red pepper flakes and sliced almonds its transformed into a light asian inspired side.

pan seared broccoli with almonds

• 1 head of broccoli - florets separated from large stalk, washed, still wet
• 15 whole raw almonds roughly chopped (or 1/8 cup slivered almonds)
• 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
• 1 small garlic clove - minced
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• salt + pepper to taste

heat olive oil in large pan over med-high heat, throw in broccoli. cook 5-8 minutes, until broccoli turns bright green and just begins to brown. add in tamari, red pepper flakes, garlic and season with salt + pepper. toss around pan so that broccoli is evenly coated, then add in almonds. at this point i typically add in 1-2 tbsp of water to get the broccoli just to the bite i like. remove from heat, serve immediately or place in the fridge for a cold broccoli salad later.
