Equipment
- Large pot
- Steamer Basket
- Kitchen tongs
- Small mixing bowl
- Chef's knife
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- Broccoli Florets 1 Lb
- Butter 2 Tbsp
- Garlic Powder 1/2 Tsp
- Lemon Juice 1 Tsp
- Salt 1/4 Tsp
- Black Pepper 1/4 Tsp
- Water For Steaming 1 Cup
Instructions
- Wash your fresh broccoli under cold water. Cut the heads into small, even pieces. Small pieces cook much faster and better. Place them on a clean towel.
- Fill your large pot with one inch of water. Place it on the stove over high heat. Bring the water to a steady boil. You will see plenty of steam rising
- Place the steamer basket inside the pot. Make sure the water does not touch it. This keeps the broccoli from getting soggy. Proper steaming is the key to texture.
- Add the broccoli florets to the basket carefully. Cover the pot with a tight lid. Steam them for five to seven minutes. Keep the lid on to trap heat.
- Poke a floret with a kitchen fork. It should feel tender but still firm. Do not overcook the green vegetables today. They should stay a bright green color.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl. Whisk in the garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the fresh lemon juice to mix. Stir it until everything is well combined.
- Place the hot broccoli in a bowl. Pour the garlic butter sauce over top. Toss gently to coat every single piece. Serve it while it is hot.
Notes
- Use fresh broccoli for the best crunchy texture.
- Do not let the water touch the basket.
- Cut all florets into the same size.
- Add the lemon juice right before serving.
- Serve the dish immediately while still hot.
