How to Make Dirty Broccoli

  1. Wash and cut 1 pound of broccoli into spears.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine broccoli spears with 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain the broccoli and set aside.
  4. While the broccoli is microwaving, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  7. Cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes.
  8. Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Serve immediately.
