  • 2 heads broccoli
  • 2 roasted red peppers , homemade or store-bought
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • Partially fill a large, wide saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, if using broccoli, slice stalks from florets and cut florets into small pieces. Peel stalks, then thinly slice. (If using broccoli rabe, cut into large pieces.) Thickly slice roasted red peppers. Add broccoli florets and stalks to boiling water. Return to a boil, then cook until bright green, 1 to 2 min. Drain in a colander.
