This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can diced tomatoes with balsamic vinegar , 14.5 ounce

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the tomatoes with their juices, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by about 1/2. Place the broccoli on top of the tomatoes, and season with a little salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Do not over cook the broccoli, it should be a vibrant green. Pour into a serving dish, and toss to blend with the sauce before serving.

Copycat Pickle De Gallo
This copycat pickle de gallo is my version of the popular pickle-based pico de gallo, and it is the perfect topping for pulled pork tacos, fish tacos, to serve with barbecued ribs, or as a dip for tortilla chips. This may sound odd, but I like to dress up my cottage cheese with it. The possibilities are endless.
