Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Broccoflower or Broccoli
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional for sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the broccoflower or broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large pot, bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot and add the florets. Cover and steam for 5–7 minutes until tender but still vibrant in color.
While the florets are steaming, prepare the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, honey (if using), and water until fully combined.
Remove the steamed broccoflower or broccoli from the heat and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the lemon Dijon sauce over the florets, tossing gently to ensure even coating.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy your zesty, healthy creation!
