Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 each broccoli crowns
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the broccoli crowns under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Discard the tough stem or save it for another use, such as in a soup or stock.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Set aside.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and place a steamer basket over it, ensuring that the basket does not touch the water.
Place the broccoli florets into the steamer basket, cover the pot with a lid, and steam for about 8-10 minutes or until the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
While the broccoli is steaming, in a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Once the broccoli is finished steaming, transfer the florets to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle the lemon zest, garlic, and black pepper mixture over the broccoli. Toss gently to distribute the flavors evenly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste.
