Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and peel and slice the stems into thin rounds.
Melt the butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the broccoli to the pan, stirring to coat it evenly with the butter and garlic.
Pour the water into the pan, cover with a lid, and let the broccoli steam for 4-5 minutes, until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and add the chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together gently to combine.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional dill or a lemon wedge for presentation.
