This Roman dish, which pairs beautifully with pork chops, can be made with regular broccoli, broccoli rabe, or romanesco. Dana Bowen, our executive editor, compiled a comprehensive roundup of traditional Roman side dishes, or contorni, in our April 2010 issue.

Ingredients

  • 14 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 bunch (about 1 lb.) broccoli, stemmed and cut into florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
