Best Broccoli With Lemon Kalamata Olives And Capers Recipes
BROCCOLI WITH LEMON, KALAMATA OLIVES AND CAPERS
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!

CHARRED BROCCOLI WITH CAPERS
Steps:
- Cut 1 head broccoli into florets. Peel the stem, shave into ribbons and soak in ice water. Heat 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets; cook, stirring occasionally, until charred, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon capers to the skillet; cook 30 seconds, then add to the broccoli. Drain the shaved broccoli stem; add to the bowl with the florets and toss with 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and olive oil, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1/3 cup grated parmesan, and salt and pepper.
