Broccoli is a great go-to side dish, bringing colour and nutrition to the dinner table. But simply steaming or roasting the vegetable can get a little old after a while. This lemon garlic broccoli takes boiled broccoli up a notch by quickly sautéing it in butter and garlic and finishing it with a squeeze of lemon juice. The buttery lemon and garlic sauce adds just the right amount of flavour to the lightly boiled broccoli, and the citrus contributes a touch of brightness. This lemon and garlic broccoli dish is perfect on a wee-knight but also special enough for the holiday menu.

The most traditional way to steam vegetables is with a steamer basket set in a pot filled with 1 inch of water. But if you don't have a steamer basket, you can cook the broccoli in the microwave in one tablespoon of water, or in a 1/4 inch of water in a pan on the stove top. All methods call for covering the broccoli while it cooks. No matter which way you steam, make sure not to overcook, or else the broccoli will become mushy and lose its appealing green colour.

This lemon and garlic broccoli pairs well with a variety of main dishes, such as whole roasted chicken, grilled steak, baked crispy fish fillets, and almost any pasta recipe. Although delicious as is, you can spice up this broccoli with some crushed red pepper flakes, or add another layer of flavour with finely chopped red onion or shallots.

Recipe Variations ~

Saute 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion or shallot in the butter until just tender. Add the garlic and continue with the recipe.

Replace half of the fresh broccoli florets with cauliflower florets and steam along with the broccoli.

Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the butter along with the garlic.

About us
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cooking or cookery is the art, technology, science and craft of preparing food for consumption. Types of cooking depend on the skill levels and training of cooks.

Most ingredients in cooking are derived from living organisms. Vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts as well as herbs and spices come from plants, while meat, eggs and dairy products come from animals.Mushroom and the yeast used in baking are kinds of fungi.

Cooks also use water and minerals such as salt. Cooks can also use wine and spirits.

There are many methods of cooking. These include baking, roasting, frying, grilling, barbecuing, smoking, boiling, steaming and braising. A more recent innovation is microwaving. The method chosen greatly affects the end result because some foods are more appropriate to some methods than others.

Cooking can prevent many food-borne illnesses that would otherwise occur if the food is eaten raw. Food safety depends on the safe preparation, handling and storage of food.

Home cooking has traditionally been a process carried out informally in a home and can be enjoyed by all members of the family, although in many cultures women bear primary responsibility.
