Lemony Broccoli

If you have never turned your microwave into a steamer, this is a great recipe to try! it's easy, healthy, and the touch of lemon in this is lovely. making it in the serving dish saves you the cleanup of stovetop steaming methods. this recipe is written for beginner cooks.

Steps

Cut broccoli into your choice of shapes.
You can cut the head longwise for spears , or chop off the stems and separate for florets , or chop the whole head.
Whatever floats your boat.
:).
For 4 servings , place in a microwave safe serving dish in the 1 quart range.
It will cook down during the steaming process , so make sure that it mounds up nicely in the dish before steaming.
Put everything else on top of the broccoli.
Cover with plastic wrap.
The idea is to completely seal this up.
Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Take out with hotpads , and carefully remove the plastic wrap.
Open away from you , because steam burns.
Stir to combine and serve ! :).
