This simple side dish makes broccoli sing. And it's low-cal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli shopping list
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- Zest from 1 lemon shopping list
- juice fro 1/2 a lemon (zest first, juice second) shopping list
- salt shopping list
- Pinch red pepper flakes, (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Discard the lower third of the broccoli stem (compost!). Peel remaining stem and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Cut the broccoli crown into 2-inch florets. In a steamer set over boiling water (if you don't have a steamer, a metal colander will work), cover and steam the broccoli until it is crisp tender, about 4 - 5 minutes. When done, toss it with the olive oil, lemon zest, juice, salt and red pepper flakes, if using.
