4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook broccoli in large saucepan of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain well.

Cook until garlic is just golden, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and add mushrooms and zucchini. Cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add wine and simmer 2 minutes. Add broccoli, olives and tomatoes; cook until broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes.
