Broccoli with Garlic

==Ingredients==
* 1 bunch broccoli or 1 lb frozen chopped broccoli
* 6 cloves garlic
* ½ tsp salt
* 2 tbsp water
* ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
== Directions ==
# Wash broccoli and cut into small florets. Cut the tender parts of the stem into smallish cubes or save for Broccoli Stem Pickled Pennies or Broccoli Cole Slaw. 
# Steam in a microwave steamer or over boiling water until barely tender and still bright green (about 3-1/2 to 5 minutes in a microwave, depending on the volume of broccoli and water). Don't overcook: with all cruciferae, this is a very important guideline! 
# Place olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Chop or mince the garlic. 
# When the oil is hot, add the salt, then the garlic. 
# Sauté, stirring frequently, just until the garlic starts to soften. 
# Quickly add the water, and the cayenne if desired. Turn heat low and simmer for a couple of minutes. 
# Place the broccoli in a large glass or crockery serving bowl. 
# Pour the garlic mixture over it, mixing gently to coat. 
# Serve and enjoy. Leftovers are delicious cold, added to salads.
