Fresh Steamed Broccoli
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash the fresh broccoli florets under cold water and cut them into smaller pieces if necessary.
Set Up the Steamer
Fill a pot with 1 cup of water and place a steaming basket inside. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the basket.
Steam the Broccoli
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the broccoli to the steaming basket, cover the pot, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender but still crisp.
Season the Broccoli
Remove the broccoli from the steamer and transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste, and add lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
