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!

- 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.
- Garnish with a sprig or two of fresh parsley, if desired.
ROASTED GARLIC LEMON BROCCOLI
I was looking for a unique way to prepare broccoli and decided to give this a try! Florets are roasted after being tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and minced garlic. A squeeze of lemon juice before serving seals the deal.
