- 1½ pounds broccoli crowns
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ⅓ cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 1 medium garlic clove, (finely chopped)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 medium lemon, (zested and juiced)
- freshly ground black pepper
Steps
In a large pot (one that accommodates your steamer), bring about 2 inches of water to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, trim and cut the broccoli into 2 to 3 inch florets. When the water is boiling, steam the broccoli in a steamer basket until it's just cooked, 7 to 9 minutes.
While the broccoli steams, heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the olives, garlic, salt, and dried oregano. Cook until the garlic is lightly colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Finely grate the zest from the lemon; set aside. Squeeze 4 teaspoons juice from the lemon and add the juice to the oil. Season with pepper.
Spread the broccoli on a warmed serving platter. Reheat the dressing until it begins to bubble and then pour it over the broccoli. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and fresh oregano. Serve immediately.
