 1..Wash the broccoli under water and cut it into small pieces, separating the florets from the stalks. You can be chopped roughly the stalks if you want.

2  Heat the pan or put the saucepan with butter on a medium flame. If you put the flame on high, your butter will burn.

3.  Add chopped onion and fry this well. When you see the onion turns light brown, then add salt, pepper, and garlic, and saute them a little until you get a nice flavor from it.
