GARLIC BROCCOLI SPEARS
A favorite side dish veggie I often make for my family. Don't walk away from the pan - broccoli cooks very quickly and you need to check it soon to prevent it overcooking. Sometimes it will take a little longer to cook, other times it will take a little less. I have a glass lid on my saucepan, so I can see when it is ready - it gets very bright green when it is ready, then very quickly starts to turn olive green if it cooks a little too long. I like mine tender, but still a little crispy - the longer you cook it, the softer it gets, but you also lose that lovely color. It is up to you.

LEMON-BUTTERED BROCCOLI SPEARS
Steps:
- In a steamer set over boiling water steam the broccoli, covered, for 4 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender. In a skillet heat the butter over moderate heat until the foam subsides, in it toss the broccoli until it is coated well, and sprinkle the broccoli with the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and zest.
Tips:
- Choose fresh broccoli spears: Look for broccoli spears that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid spears that are yellowing or have wilted florets.
- Trim the broccoli spears: Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli spears and remove any leaves. Cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
- Blanch the broccoli spears: Blanching the broccoli spears helps to preserve their color and crispness. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the broccoli spears, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the broccoli spears and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet: Use a large skillet that is big enough to hold all of the broccoli spears in a single layer. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the broccoli spears and cook until tender: Add the blanched broccoli spears to the hot oil and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender and slightly browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This will help to infuse the broccoli spears with garlic flavor.
- Season with salt and pepper: Season the broccoli spears with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately: Garlic broccoli spears are best served immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own as a side dish or added to your favorite stir-fry.
Conclusion:
Garlic broccoli spears are a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. They are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy dish that will be a hit at your next meal.
