Broccoli with Black Olives
(4 servings)
1 bunch (about 1-1/2 lbs) fresh broccoli, trimmed
3 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, chopped fine
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup small black olives, pitted and cut into small pieces

Parboil broccoli about 2 minutes in small amount of salted water. Drain.
Heat oil, add garlic and saute until light brown. Add broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Cook slowly over low heat 10 minutes, adding a little of the water in which broccoli was cooked if the pan gets too dry.
