Sicilian-Style Broccoli

1 - head broccoli
2 T olive oil
2 - large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C vegetable stock
2 T drained capers, slightly crushed in a mortar
1/8 t crushed red pepper flakes
0 - salt and pepper to taste

Cut off and separate the broccoli florets. Trim the tough ends of the stalks; peel, if necessary, and cut crosswise into 3/8 inch thick slices.

In a large skillet with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, 1-2 minutes. Add the broccoli florets and stalks, vegetable broth, capers, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the broccoli is tender but still firm, 5-7 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to high, and cook, tossing and stirring constantly, until any remaining broth evaporates, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
