Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound broccoli, separated into florets

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided

  • 3 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Place broccoli florets in a large skillet over medium heat. Mix water and 2 teaspoons lemon juice together in a small bowl; pour mixture over broccoli. Cover and steam until broccoli is bright green and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
