Author Notes: I honestly didn’t intend to create this for entry, I just have (not surprisingly) a lot of olives and citrus in the house. But it’s really good (which I realized to far along to get a photo) so here you go!!! —aargersi
Serves: 2 to 4
Ingredients
-
1
head of broccoli
-
1
blood orange
-
2
neopolitan mandarines (itty bitty little things! use a single tangerine as an alternate)
-
1
lemon
-
2
tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2
cup kalamata olives
-
1
teaspoon fresh thyme
-
1
teaspoon white wine vinegar
-
1
pinch salt
-
fresh ground pepper
-
1
large shallot (about 2 tbs sliced)
-
2
cloves garlic – roughly chopped
-
1/2
cup toasted pistachios – roughly chopped
Directions
- Remove the broccoli stem and cut it into florets. Zest and juice the blood orange into a large bowl, add the juice from the mandarines and the lemon, then the oil, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper – whisk all of that together. Toss in the broccoli, olives, shallots and garlic and let it all sit and marinate for about 20 minutes – toss it a couple times while it marinates.
- Heat the oven to 425. Cover a baking sheet with foil and spray it with no stick (this makes for easier cleanup) then spread the broccoli mixture out on the sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over top.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes until the broccoli just starts to brown and is nice and tender – stir it once or twice while it is roasting.
- Serve topped with some chopped toasted pistachios!
