Peel broccoli stems with a vegetable peeler, then, keeping stems separate, cut stems, leaves, and florets diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Cook stem pieces in an 8-quart pot of (unsalted) boiling water 1 minute, then add leaves and florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until stems are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain broccoli well.
