Lemon Broccoli
This is a surprisingly tasty recipe for broccoli and especially appealing because it is so quick and easy.
1 bunch of broccoli, divided into florets and stalks, remove any sections that are too woody
2-3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
3 stalks celery or about 1 1/2 cups, thinly sliced
3-5 cloves garlic, minced (depends on the size of the cloves and how much you like garlic)
1-2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Steam the broccoli in a vegetable steamer for 5 minutes or until it is tender. Don't overcook.
Melt butter in a skillet and saute the onion, celery and garlic until softened and the onion begins to brown slightly.
Add the broccoli, lemon juice, zest, salt and pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature. My husband put a dollop of sour cream on top of his.
Its good just plain as well.
