Steamed Broccoli With Olive Oil Garlic And Lemon Recipes

PERFECTLY STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Add 1 inch of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Rinse the broccoli. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the stalks.
• Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets and pieces, and place them in a steamer basket.
• Steam until tender-crisp. Start checking after 5 minutes. As soon as a fork can pierce the stalks, the broccoli is done. Even if the rest of the meal is not ready yet, remove the broccoli from the steamer onto a plate. Crisp steamed broccoli is delicious even at room temperature. Warm limp broccoli is not.
• While the broccoli is steaming, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Place the broccoli in a bowl. Pour the dressing on top and gently mix. Serve immediately.

LEMON GARLIC BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer attachment. Add broccoli, cover and steam until crisp tender, 3 ½ to 4 1/2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil and garlic in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and just starting to brown, 30 to 90 seconds. Scrape garlic mixture into a large bowl. Immediately add lemon juice. Add lemon zest, salt and pepper.
• Stir broccoli into the lemon mixture and stir to coat. Serve hot.
