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!

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket, bring a 1 inch of water to a bowl. Steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the broccoli to a serving bowl, cover and set aside.
- While the vegetables are steaming, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the oil and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute just until the garlic begins to become fragrant.
- 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.
