3. Steam broccoli in a steamer or possibly by placing in a large covered skillet with a small amount of water.
4. Cook broccoli only till it attains a bright green color, then remove from heat.
5. Broccoli will still be hard and may appear not to be completely cooked.

7. Pour on the extra virgin olive oil, very thinly sliced garlic, warm pepper and salt to taste.
8. Place all into a refrigerator container and marinate overnight.
9. Serve cool or possibly at room temperature.

11. Note: It's crucial not to overcook the broccoli in this dish, and you might overcook it very easily if you do not keep a close watch.
12. When properly cooked, the broccoli will be "al dente" and a beautiful bright green color.
13. If your broccoli is wilted and olive green, it's overdone!
