Lemon Broccoli with Olives Garlic N Feta
From mystic_river1 15 years ago
- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 4
A bright tasting and delicious healthy satisfying side dish or brunch with crispy bread. A true burst of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh organic (if possible) broccoli shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice shopping list
- garlic (optional) shopping list
- 1/2 cup sliced or chopped black olives (about 2 oz) shopping list
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional) shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
- In a saucepan, bring 1 quart water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil.
- While water heats, prepare broccoli: trim off tough stalks (see TIP). Slice broccoli heads and any attached stem lengthwise into strips. Drop broccoli into boiling water and cook, without covering pan, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on size of pieces. Drain broccoli and toss with lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Scatter olives and pieces of feta, if using, over broccoli and serve.
- TIP: Broccoli stems are delicious when peeled to remove tough, fiberous skin and can be used raw or cooked.
- I love the stems in a salad, plain or cooked.
