RECIPE BY Southern Living

One (16-oz.) package frozen broccoli spears may be substituted for fresh in this recipe--you don't even have to thaw or change the cook time.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh broccoli crowns, cut into spears*
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (2-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained (optional)

How to Make It

Step 1

Cook broccoli spears in boiling water to cover 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Plunge broccoli into ice water to stop the cooking process, and drain.

Step 2

Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; stir in broccoli spears, and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and, if desired, diced pimiento; sauté 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Step 3

*1 (16-oz.) package frozen broccoli spears may be substituted for fresh.

I liked this dish and will definitely make it again. I used a Meyer lemon infused cooking oil to saute the broccoli after it was cooked. I liked cooking the broccoli until it was crisp tender and then adding cold water; you get a much nicer looking side dish. I served the broccoli with honey ginger salmon and whole grain rice.

So yummy - ate this two nights in a row. The lemon and peppers really go well with the butter and broccoli
