This Daniel Fast friendly recipe was adapted from Chef Greg Vernick’s Roasted Broccoli Steaks with Tomato Butter and Tapenade that appeared in Food & Wine magazine. When I made Chef Greg’s version for the first time, my tastebuds were in heaven. It was the best broccoli I’d ever met. Seriously, I was in love! I can’t praise his recipe enough. This Daniel Fast version omits the olive tapenade replaces the toasted breadcrumbs with Crunchmaster multi-seed rice crackers. Olive oil stands in for the butter. I had a “broccoli steak” in making this Daniel-licious just for you.
