Broccoli in Tomato Sauce is a flavorful, nutrient-rich dish typically inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. This plant-based recipe combines steamed or sautéed broccoli florets with a savory tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, and aromatic herbs like oregano and basil. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, broccoli is an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K, while tomatoes contribute lycopene, a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health. Olive oil adds healthy monounsaturated fats that support cardiovascular health. The dish is naturally low in calories and free of cholesterol, making it a wholesome choice for various dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. However, sodium levels can vary depending on the addition of salt or pre-made sauce, so it's best to check labels or prepare from scratch for optimal nutrition. Simple, delicious, and versatile, this dish can be enjoyed as a side or light main course.
