Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 broccoli crowns
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 dash cracked black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli crowns thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Cut the broccoli crowns into equal-sized florets. You can also include tender stems if you like.
In a pot large enough to hold a steamer basket, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, place a steamer basket in the pot, ensuring it sits above the water level.
Add the broccoli florets into the steamer basket in a single layer.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender with a slight crunch.
Remove the pot from the heat and carefully transfer the steamed broccoli into a serving dish.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
Toss gently to coat the broccoli evenly with the seasoning.
Serve hot as a nutritious side dish.
