Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Fill a medium-sized pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Place a steamer basket in the pot and add the broccoli florets. Cover with a lid and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the florets are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and water until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
Arrange the steamed broccoli on a platter or individual serving plates.
Drizzle the mustard sauce over the broccoli evenly, making sure all florets get a bit of sauce.
Serve immediately while the broccoli is warm. Enjoy this light and flavorful dish as a standalone snack or side.
