Best 10 Broccoli With Olives Recipes

BROCCOLI WITH ALMONDS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Combine oil and olives, almonds, lemon zest plus juice, and red-pepper flakes. Add parsley and season with salt. Toss with broccoli and serve warm or at room temperature.

STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH OLIVE OIL, GARLIC, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Discard tough lower third of broccoli stem. Peel remaining stem and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut broccoli into 2-inch florets. In a steamer set over boiling water steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While broccoli is steaming, finely chop garlic and in a small skillet combine with oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat garlic mixture over moderate heat until garlic is fragrant. In a bowl toss broccoli with garlic mixture.

BROCCOLI WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover, and steam until just tender, about 7 minutes. Briefly plunge into ice-water bath. Drain; pat dry.
• Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wide saute pan over medium heat. Add half of the broccoli, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in half of the olives. Cook until heated through. Transfer to a serving dish; cover. Repeat with remaining oil, broccoli, salt, pepper, and olives. Combine batches. Serve immediately.

BROCCOLI WITH FRIED SHALLOTS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook until just tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
• Heat oil in a small pot over medium heat. In batches, so they don't crowd the pot, fry shallots until light golden, 4 to 6 minutes, using a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate once they've cooked. Sprinkle the fried shallots with salt as you go. If the shallots start to brown too quickly, lower the heat.
• Keep the oil in the pot, and carefully stir in garlic and olives. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Pour the hot oil, including garlic and olives, over the broccoli, then sprinkle with salt and taste. If you'd like it to be brighter, toss in the vinegar. Serve broccoli with fried shallots on top.

ROASTED BROCCOLI STEAKS WITH OLIVE RELISH

Steps:

• Cut 2 heads of broccoli into steaks. Coat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on a preheated baking sheet at 425˚ F, flipping once, until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Combine 1/3 cup each chopped Castelvetrano olives and parsley, 1 tablespoon sliced Calabrian chiles, 1 sliced scallion, 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon olive oil; spoon over the broccoli.

BRAISED BROCCOLI WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• 1. Separate the stalks from the broccoli crowns. Thickly peel and trim the stalks and chop them into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the base of the broccoli crowns, then separate them into florets.
• 2. Bring 2 quarts water to a boil; add salt, then the broccoli. Cook for 5 minutes (even if the water barely returns to the boil), then scoop into a colander to drain, reserving a cup of the water. Chop into small pieces just smaller than bite-sized.
• 3. Warm the olive oil in a wide skillet, then add the onion, marjoram, and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring now and then, until the onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the olive paste; add the broccoli and stir to coat well. Taste for salt, season with pepper, and add the lemon zest. Add the reserved broccoli water and simmer gently until the broccoli is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

• While the vegetables are steaming, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

• Pour the sauce over the steamed broccoli and season with black pepper.
• Toss well to coat.
