Broccoli and Cauliflower with Kumquats Recipe

Provided By
RecipeTips

Small and citrusy, kumquats add real zing to these rather bland vegetables. This is also good using all broccoli or all cauliflower, but the blend provides more variety in color and flavor.

Bring 2 cups water to boil in a saucepan. Add kumquats, return water to boil and boil for about 30 seconds. Remove kumquats and cool in cold water. When cool enough to handle, slice into thin rounds, removing seeds.
If you're not using prepared dressing, mash or press garlic and mix well with olive oil, vinegar and salt.
Cook broccoli - cauliflower mix according to package directions. While vegetables cook, chop olives.
Drain vegetables, pour vinaigrette over, add olives and kumquats. Mix gently. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.
