Lemony Broccoli

5 ingredients
14 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (from a bottle is fine)
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut broccoli into your choice of shapes.
  2. 2
    You can cut the head(s) longwise for spears, or chop off the stems and separate for florets, or chop the whole head(s).
  3. 3
    Whatever floats your boat.
  4. 4
    :).
  5. 5
    For 4 servings, place in a microwave safe serving dish in the 1 quart range.
  6. 6
    It will cook down during the steaming process, so make sure that it mounds up nicely in the dish before steaming.
  7. 7
    Put everything else on top of the broccoli.
  8. 8
    Cover with plastic wrap (I am preferential to Press and Seal, but that is because I can't get the regular stuff to work).
  9. 9
    The idea is to completely seal this up (better than even a lid could do).
  10. 10
    Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
  11. 11
    Take out with hotpads (cuz the dish will be HOT *grins*), and carefully remove the plastic wrap.
  12. 12
    Open AWAY from you, because steam burns.
  13. 13
    Stir to combine and serve!
  14. 14
    :).
