Sauteed Broccoli with Black Olive, Parmesan and Sun Dried Tomatoes
I created this sauteed broccoli recipe to make a simple side vegetable dish more interesting. We often take vegetable sides for granted by only steaming them or quickly frying them with a little butter. I think it’s great to have interesting sides to add fun and flavor to a simple steak or chicken breast. Omit the cheese to make this a vegetarian recipe. Serve this sauteed broccoli recipe as a side to my vegetable lasagna or tuna steak with tomato relish.
