Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the broccoli florets under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.

  2. 2

    Cut the broccoli into smaller, bite-sized pieces if necessary.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Steam the Broccoli

    Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

  2. 4

    Season the Broccoli

    Once the broccoli is steamed, transfer it to a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    While the broccoli is still warm, add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Toss again until the cheese melts slightly and coats the broccoli.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the steamed broccoli warm as a delicious side dish.
