Cook garlic in oil over low heat until soft and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes, being careful not to burn garlic. Stir in salt and pepper. Allow to stand at least 1 hour.

Steam broccoli. Remove garlic from oil with slotted spoon; set aside. Heat oil; add broccoli and cook on high several minutes. Add peppers, olives and reserved garlic. Cook until peppers are heated through. Serve with shavings of parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese.
