Broccoli with a sparkle

Description

Cut the broccoli florets, trying to make them a manageable, bite-sized. Finely chop the tough stem. Pour water into a large pot, salt it, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli and blanch for about 3-4 minutes. The tip of a knife should easily pierce the vegetable when done. Drain the water through a colander, then return the broccoli to the pot. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a few pieces of butter and gently stir, taking care not to break the florets.
