Cooking cruciferous vegetables without boiling them, as in this recipe, seems to make them more fragrant and heady -- just the way the robust Romans like their food.

Ingredients

• 

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 

4 cloves garlic, sliced

• 

3 pounds broccoli, cut into spears

• 

1 cup Frascati or other dry white wine

• 

1 tablespoon hot red pepper flakes

• 

Zest of 1 lemon

• 

Zest of 1 orange

Preparation

In a 10- to 12-inch saut&3233 pan, heat the olive oil with the garlic over medium-high heat until just sizzling. Add the broccoli and cook, tossing frequently and gradually adding the wine to keep the garlic from browning, until the stalks are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and zests, tossing well, and serve immediately.
