Ingredients:

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

¼ cup minced onion

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¾ inch piece ginger, peeled and grated (about 2 teaspoons)

2 medium cloves garlic, minced

1 cup diced tomatoes

¼ cup raisins

3 tablespoons water

2 pounds broccoli, florets cut into 1-inch pieces, stems trimmed, peeled, and cut on diagonal into ¼-inch thick slices about 1 ½ inches long (about 5 cups florets and ¾ cup stems)

¼ cup chopped toasted almonds

 

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering; add onion, curry powder, ¼
teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.  Cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.  Add ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and raisins; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until tomatoes have softened and mixture is thick, about 3 minutes.  Transfer to small bowl and cover to keep warm.  Wipe out skillet.

Stir water and remaining salt and pepper together in a small bowl until salt dissolves; set aside.  In cleaned skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke.  Add broccoli stems in even layer and cook, without stirring, until
browned on bottoms, about 2 minutes.  Add florets to skillet and toss to combine; cook, without stirring, until bottoms
of florets just begin to brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Add water mixture and cover skillet; cook until broccoli is bright green but still crisp, about 2 minutes.  Uncover, add tomato mixture, and continue to cook until water has evaporated, broccoli stems are tender, and florets are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes more.

Top with toasted almonds and serve.
