4 bunches broccoli (about 3 pounds),
cut into medium florets
1 / 2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 / 2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup pitted and slivered kalamata olives
How to make
Broccoli with olives
Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put the broccoli
in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover,
and steam until just tender, about 7 minutes. Briefly
plunge into the ice-water bath. Drain; pat dry.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wide saute pan over medium
heat. Add half of the broccoli, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and
1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until golden
brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in half of the olives.
Cook until heated through. Transfer to a serving
dish; cover. Repeat with the remaining oil, broccoli,
salt, pepper, and olives. Combine batches. Serve
immediately.
