Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Onions - To a non stick saute pan (I think this works best), add the butter on medium heat and add the garlic and onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onions begin to sweat and soften.
  2. Croutons - Just add to a baggie and using the palm of your hand or a meat mallet or even a rolling pin. Lightly crunch them up. Not to much, you don't want them fine. And I just used cheese croutons, but garlic or even plain is just fine.
  3. Broccoli - Add the broccoli, red pepper, salt and pepper and bring the heat to medium / medium high. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes, remove the lid and add the croutons and stir, cover and cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid, stir and cook just another minute. The broccoli should be tender but still a bit of crisp. During the cooking you can add more butter if you feel it needs it or you can even add a drizzle of olive oil too.
  4. Serve - It's done. I love mine tender, but still a bit crisp or a bite to the broccoli. The croutons add a nice crisp and it has a great buttery flavor. add some good ground black pepper and enjoy - broccoli done a bit different. .
