Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash and trim broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the garlic and oil.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and steam the broccoli for 4-5 minutes, or until tender but still bright green.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the lid from the skillet and allow any remaining water to evaporate.
Reduce the heat to low, pour the Dijon mixture over the broccoli, and toss to coat the florets evenly.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately.
