Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head broccoli, about 1 1/4 pounds
2 plum tomatoes, about 1/2 pound
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the tops of the broccoli into bite-size florets. Cut the broccoli stems into 1 1/2-inch lengths, trimming and discarding the outer coating. There should be about 6 cups of broccoli pieces.
  • Meanwhile, bring to a boil enough water to cover the broccoli when added. Add the broccoli, and after the water returns to a boil, cook another 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  • Peel the tomatoes, and cut them lengthwise into eighths. Scrape away and discard the seeds and the pulpy portions around them. Set the tomato strips aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet, and add the broccoli and pepper flakes.
  • Add the tomato strips, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring so that the ingredients blend and cook evenly, about 2 minutes.

The tomatoes were a bit too acidic for my taste. I think I'll use a different type of tomato next time.

The broccoli was a bit overcooked for my liking. I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover broccoli. I added some extra garlic and chili flakes to give it a little more kick.
