This recipe combines the vibrant flavors of fresh broccoli and tangy canned tomatoes, complemented by the bold taste of black pepper. It's easy to prepare and packs a nutritious punch, making it an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner or as a side dish for your favorite main courses.

Ingredients:

1.50 lb broccoli
680g
1 cup canned tomatoes
240g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Rinse the broccoli thoroughly under cold water.
- Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Don't discard the stems; slice them into thin pieces.
2. Cook the Broccoli:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
- Drain the broccoli and set aside.
3. Prepare the Tomato Mix:
- In a medium saucepan, pour the canned tomatoes along with their juices.
- Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
4. Combine and Season:
- Add the cooked broccoli to the saucepan with the simmering tomatoes.
- Stir well to combine.
- Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the medley. Adjust the seasoning to taste. If desired, you can add a pinch of salt for additional flavor.
5. Simmer Together:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
6. Serve:
- Once done, turn off the heat and transfer the tomato-broccoli medley to a serving dish.
- Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course.

Tips:

- For added flavor, sauté the broccoli in a little olive oil before adding the tomatoes and black pepper.

- Consider using fresh tomatoes if they're in season for an even fresher taste.

- If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add more black pepper or even a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- Garnish with fresh herbs such as basil or parsley for added freshness and color.

- Serve with a side of quinoa or brown rice to make it a more filling meal.

And there you have it, a delightful tomato-broccoli medley with a kick of black pepper. This simple yet flavorful dish not only brings a burst of color to your plate but also ensures you're getting a healthy dose of vegetables. Enjoy it on its own or pair it with your favorite protein for a well-rounded meal. Happy cooking!
