Broccoli is a go-to veggie side for many families yet is often served very plain. Here we offer a great way to dress it up with a fresh, vegetable sauce. Ragout is a French-style, slow-cooked stew that can be made with vegetables or meat. Here, it marries the flavor of sweet tomatoes and salty Kalamata olives for a tasty sauce that completely coats the broccoli. Kalamatas are black olives, and they have a smooth texture that holds up in this tomato sauce. Ready in under 15 minutes, this is the perfect, low-calorie vegetable side that will have the kids coming back for seconds.
