Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 garlic clove
Instructions
1. Begin by washing the head of broccoli thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
2. Cut the broccoli into medium-sized florets, leaving some of the stem attached for texture.
3. Fill a pot with about one inch of water and place a steamer basket inside the pot, ensuring the water does not rise above the basket.
4. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and place the broccoli florets into the steamer basket.
5. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam the broccoli for about 6-8 minutes, or until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
6. While the broccoli is steaming, mince the garlic clove finely.
7. Once cooked, carefully remove the broccoli from the steamer and transfer it to a serving dish.
8. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the steamed broccoli.
9. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the broccoli, ensuring even coverage.
10. Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly and add the minced garlic.
11. Gently toss the broccoli to combine all the ingredients and serve immediately.
