Ingredients - 1 pound fresh broccoli - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 2 tablespoons lemon juice - 1/2 cup sliced or chopped black olives (about 2 oz) - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional) - salt and pepper Quick, easy, nutritious--and colorful! Directions
- 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.
