  4.3 – 26 reviews  • Tomatoes

Try this honey-smoked turkey if you want a juicy bird with a tasty honey coating. The simplest method for cooking a large fowl is this! You will never have a better turkey meal. I sincerely hope you take pleasure in it as much as my loved ones do when I prepare it. There is never any food left over.

Ingredients

  1. ¾ pound broccoli – cut into florets, stems peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  3. 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  4. 1 clove garlic, minced
  5. 1 small carrot, diced
  6. 1 stalk celery, diced
  7. salt and ground black pepper
  8. 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  9. 1 tablespoon chopped green olives
  10. 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  11. ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
  12. ¼ cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, place over high heat, and bring water to a boil. Add broccoli to the steamer insert; cover and steam until bright green, about 4 minutes. Transfer broccoli to an 8-inch square baking dish; set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. While the broccoli is steaming, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in carrot, celery, salt, and pepper; continue cooking until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes and olives to the skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and season again with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  5. Pour sauce into the baking dish over broccoli, then evenly distribute goat cheese and Parmesan over top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese begins to brown, about 20 minutes.

Tastey! Didn’t have celery or goat cheese, great without. Used fresh cherry tomatoes.
George May
Awesome! No changes
Timothy Lopez
i made this dish for thanksgiving. instead of goat crumbles and parmesan cheese, i used vegan shredded cheese (or non cheese). It was a major hit and vegan/gluten free. delicious
Caroline Williams
It was so-so., but then I’m not a big lover of vegetables. Hubby really loved it.
Patrick Golden
This recipe was delicious. I was a bit unsure of adding the maple syrup as I thought it would make the dish sweet. But I added it and it didn’t taste sweet. I think it gave the canned tomatoes a better flavor. I followed the recipe exactly except that I added additional seasoning to the mixture (basil, etc). I also used frozen broccoli-cheaper and easier. Overall great easy dish. Will make again.

This is a delicious recipe. I followed the instructions and found it had a lot of flavor. I wonder if the person that thought this was too sweet did not use genuine Vermont maple syrup. That can make all the difference. You do need to add salt and pepper to taste. If yours was bland, maybe you needed more of these? I threw some of the leftovers in a pan this morning and added a couple eggs. It was a delicious breakfast too!

Absolutely went down a treat in my house. I made fresh pasta with this, added balsamic vinegar to the tomato sauce and didn’t use the mayple syrup. Will Defo be making again!!!
Melissa Rodriguez
Very good. Had a happy accident when I used a can of organic diced tomatoes with green chiles. Used chopped kalamata olives instead of green olives. steamed the broccoli very lightly, and seasoned with thyme and and extra clove of garlic. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as indicated. Served it over polenta, and it was a big hit with my husband.
Jasmine Thompson
Great taste. Easy and much more healthy than the usual broccoli bake.
Thomas Castro
This recipe made a nice change on every day boring vegetables. I didn’t make it exactly as stated, but used the general idea. I never add salt to anything, so no salt or pepper and I didn’t have any maple syrup, so that was left out. The cheese I used was reduced fat cheddar, but that worked fine. I did up to direction 3 as directed, but had no tomatoes either, so substituted them with a jar of reduced salt Dolmio spag sauce. Also had no olives, but added chopped green beans, frozen corn to the carrot, onion, garlic, celery, broccoli mix, stirred through the sauce and topped with cheddar cheese, which I cooked at 180c until cheese melted. Very tasty and my fussy son who rarely eats his veggies ate it all up very happily! Thank you!
Michael Jones
We did not like this recipe at all. It lacked flavor and the goat cheese and Parmesan just did not accentuate it. It was like someone messed up their dish so they threw cheese on top to fix it. Just our thoughts.
Kayla Green
This dish was very good and surprisingly filling. I knew it was a hit when my boyfriend had a second helping (this guy rarely refills his plate). I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned and about a cup of tomato sauce. I added close to a 1/2 cup of the goat cheese. I will definitely make this dish again.
Jennifer Spencer
Easy to make and very tasty. Next time I will use fresh tomatoes as the canned ones left a vinegar taste that some did not like.
Bethany Soto DDS
Big Hit
Jim Kelley
This was different, but we enjoyed it. I had plenty of tomatoes from my garden, so I used those. My quantity was probably a little off because my sauce was pretty thick, btu we all enjoyed it.
Heather Wood
This was really tasty. I added a splash of balsalmic to the tomato mixture while heating and some sliced red bell pepper to the broccoli mixture. Also substituted a pinch of sugar for the maple syrup (maple syrup really did not sound good in this.) Everyone loved it. It’s great as a light main course.
Margaret Jones
What an easy and tasty way to use up leftover crudite! Spooned over brown rice and served as a main dish with a few shakes of red pepper flakes on top.
Ann Howell
This has a great flavor! I didn’t have olives or celery so did without, but I think with everything else it is plenty. I also didn’t have the syrup and replaced it with honey, which I think works just as well without making it too sweet.
Vincent Pennington
Amazingoved by all who tried it. I skipped the goat cheese and it was still good. Be careful when you cook it because it cools quickly. I will make it again.
Julie Salazar
I love tomatoes and broccoli and my husband loves goat cheese, so I really thought this was going to be a big hit. Neither one of us liked it. It was a little too sweet for me. I don’t think the syrup was necessary. But it also had a strange bitterness
Maria Yang
I enjoyed this but the rest of my family didn’t really like it. Unfortunately I won’t be making it again.
