Before we dive into the full preparation, let’s take care of a few crucial steps that will make the dish easier to assemble and ensure perfect results.

  1. Steam the Broccoli: Begin by steaming the broccoli florets until they are tender but still firm. This should take around 5-7 minutes. They should maintain their bright green color and slight crunch.
  2. Prepare the Tomatoes: While the broccoli steams, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a bowl. Add the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well and let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes. This marination enhances the flavor of the tomatoes, infusing them with a savory garlic aroma.
