Garlic Broccoli Spears

    Awesome! I really love broccoli and am usually extremely content to steam my broccoli with a little lemon juice and garlic salt. But this, was extra special, relatively healthy, and made a nice side dish for a special occasion holiday dinner with the hubby. (I made it with the Honey Mustard Basil Salmon http://www.food.com/recipe/honey-mustard-basil-salmon-95294) and was able to use the extra leftover lemon juice I squeezed this morning.I always appreciate a recipe I can make from what I already have stocked in my pantry. used a 1 lb. bag of frozen broccoli and the 5-10 minute steaming time was perfect to get the right shade of green.It's a wonderful thing when the side dish outshines the entree, and I have to say this did. A wow with every bite.

    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.,Awesome!
