Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender broccoli. Look for broccoli with bright green florets and firm stems. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
- Cut the broccoli into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Blanch the broccoli before cooking. This will help preserve its color and nutrients.
- Use a light hand with the lemon sauce. Too much lemon can overpower the broccoli.
- Serve the broccoli immediately. This dish is best when served fresh.
