2 tablespoons	30ml	Extra-virgin olive oil - divided
1/2		Garlic head - unpeeles, and

1		Broccoli with slender stalks - (1/2 lb)
		Salt - to taste
2 teaspoons	10ml	Capers packed in salt
2 tablespoons	30ml	Pitted Nyons olives - halved
		(or other brine-cured black olive)
2		Shallots - thinly sliced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Fresh thyme leaves

Recipe Instructions

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the potatoes and toss them with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the garlic, thyme sprigs and bay leaf in a roasting pan. Cover the pan with foil and roast until the potatoes are tender, 50 minutes.

Cut away the broccoli stems where they start to get woody and discard. If the heads are large, cut them into florets. Cook the broccoli in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain the broccoli, cool, then cut the spears into 2 or 3 pieces.

Soak capers in 3 changes of water, drain. Mix the capers, olives and 1 tablespoon olive oil together in a small bowl. Crumble the cooled potatoes with your hands into 5 or 6 pieces each. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skins and set aside.

Heat a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of oil, let it get hot, then add the potatoes. Cook the potatoes until they're golden brown and crisp in spots, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and then add the shallots, broccoli, roasted garlic and thyme leaves and toss together with the potatoes. Cook the hash until the broccoli is hot, the shallots are translucent and the potatoes have begun to break down a bit, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the caper-olive mixture, and taste for seasoning, adding salt as needed.
