Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Wash the broccoli and cut it into florets, trimming any thick stems as needed.
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot with a steamer basket inserted, or use a heatproof colander that fits snugly into the pot.
Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for 5-6 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until just liquid. Remove from heat and stir in Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine into a smooth sauce.
Once the broccoli is cooked, transfer it to a serving dish and pour the mustard butter sauce over the top.
Toss the broccoli gently to coat it evenly in the sauce.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy!
