Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 bunch broccoli -- about 1 1/2 pounds
3 tablespoons light vegetable oil
8 cloves -- peeled , (up to 10)
1/3 teaspoon tumeric
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Cut broccoli into spears, leaving long stems attached to the
flowerets. Peel the stems carefully, they break easily. Rinse the
spears under cold running water. Leave them for 5 minutes to drain.

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a frying pan large enough to
accommodate the broccoli in a single layer. When oil is hot, add
garlic, and saute, turning and tossing until it turns golden, about 1
to 2 minutes. Add tumeric and immediately follow it with the broccoli.
Spread the broccoli so that it lies in one layer. Let it sizzle
undisturbed for 1 minute, then sprinkle on the salt. Turn the broccoli
carefully with a flat spatula or a pair of tongs, and saute for an
additional minute.

Reduce heat and cook, covered, until the broccoli is cooked but still
crisp and dark green, about 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover, and continue
cooking until all the moisture evaporates and the broccoli spears are
glazed with garlic oil about 3 to 5 minutes. Check for salt and serve
immediately.

Yield: 4 to 6 persons
