Margaret’s Favorite Broccoli

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

It seems like a simple thing, really, but I will never grow tired of watching my daughter, Margaret, devour broccoli.  It is so easy to prepare and she is always excited to see it on her plate.  More, please!

Ingredients for Margaret’s Favorite Broccoli

  • 2 broccoli crowns - cut into florets
  • 1 lemon wedge
  • Salt to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a pot that will accommodate a steamer basket (I use the All-Clad steamer) bring about an inch of water to a boil.
  2. Once the water is boiling, add the steamer basket filled with the broccoli florets to the pot and cover.
  3. Steam for 5 minutes then remove immediately.
  4. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle with salt then toss all together gently.

Serve steaming hot with HFT Hearty Housewife Chicken.
