2 minced cloves of garlic
1 tbsp. olive oil

Directions: In a large-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Then simply add the broccoli and cover the pan for approximately 3 minutes until the broccoli is softened slightly.
Next, drain the broccoli and place it in cold water to stop the cooking process. This also helps to retain its crispy-green look. Then drain and pat dry.
After that, grab a large non-stick skillet and sauté the red and yellow peppers in olive oil for approximately 2 minutes. Then add broccoli, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook everything for about 2 more minutes.
