Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh broccoli
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly under cold water. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Trim and peel the stems, then slice them thinly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, add about 5 centimeters (2 inches) of water. Place a steamer basket in the pot, ensuring the water level is below the basket. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli florets and stems to the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the broccoli for 5-7 minutes, or until it is tender but still bright green.
While the broccoli is steaming, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it is fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Once the broccoli is done steaming, transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle the sautéed garlic and olive oil mixture over the broccoli.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and ground black pepper to the broccoli. Toss everything together gently to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy!
