I absolutely love broccoli, it’s one of my favorite vegetables and its really good for you too. This recipe has a lot of great flavors in it. It’s also very easy to make.
Broccoli with Kalamata Olives, Garlic and Lemon
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 lb of broccoli florets, cleaned and trimmed
1-2 tbsp olive oil
10-12 kalamata olives (or more if you want)
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
1-2 tbsp olive oil
10-12 kalamata olives (or more if you want)
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Directions
In a large pot (one that accommodates your steamer), bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Place cleaned and trimmed broccoli florets into the steamer basket and cover with a lid. Cook until the broccoli is JUST cooked, about 3-5 minutes. I like my broccoli a bit crisp so cook longer if you want it more tender.
Once the broccoli has cooked, set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the olives, garlic and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, steamed broccoli florets and sea salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix the broccoli until well coated. Serve and enjoy.
