Italian Broccoli image

I have been making this dish for years. It is a great way to dress up broccoli, a colorful side dish with any roasted meats. I often steam the broccoli ahead of time, cool it quickly in cold water, drain and then, when ready to serve, warm it in the hot garlic oil.

I'm allergic to garlic, so I substituted shallots in this recipe. It turned out just as delicious.
