Microwaved Broccoli with Lemon
(makes 8 servings)
| 2 | medium-size heads broccoli, about 3 pounds (1.4 kg) total |
| juice and grated zest of 1 lemon |
- Cut the florets away from the large stems. If desired, peel the stems and cut into 1inch (2.5 cm) lengths. Cut stems in half if very thick.
- Arrange broccoli in shallow microwave-safe dish. Cover with plastic wrap, venting at one corner.
- Microwave on HIGH for about 6 minutes, until just tender. Just before serving, sprinkle the lemon juice and zest on the broccoli (doing it earlier will turn the broccoli gray).
