Ingredients:


1 bunch broccoli

1 head cauliflower cut into flowerets

3 medium potatoes -- peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon safflower oil

3 cloves garlic -- finely chopped

2 cups chopped tomatoes -- fresh (drain canned)

22 large black olives

1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground

1 teaspoon black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil
 

Preparation / Directions:


Skin broccoli stems and quarter them lengthwise. Cut flowerets into large pieces. Blanch broccoli, cauliflower, and potatoes in boiling water then drain. Heat the oils in a medium skillet and add one third the chopped garlic. When garlic begins to color, add tomatoes and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Place the blanched vegetables in a large, shallow baking dish, add the rest of the ingredients, including the remaining chopped garlic. Toss lightly, then spread the tomatoes on the surface. Cover and bake in a preheated 500F oven until vegetables are cooked, about 20 minutes. Do not overcook.
