Broccoli With Lemon, Kalamata Olives and Capers image

From a local source. I tested this recipe by substituting a variety of colors of cauliflower (purple, white, golden) for the broccoli. Other cruciferous vegetables such as broccolini, broccoflower, brussels sprouts, romanesco, etc. will work, too. Easy!

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup sliced kalamata olive
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)

  • Transfer the broccoli to a serving bowl, cover and set aside.
  • While the vegetables are steaming, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  • Stir in the olives, lemon juice and capers and cook until heated through, approximately 1 minute.
  • Pour the sauce over the steamed broccoli and season with black pepper.
  • Toss well to coat.
