Lemon-Butter Broccoli Spears image

This is fantastic and easy. It is an elegant veggie, but if you are doing WW, this is 1-point for 1-cup according to the Weight Watchers Cookbook. Yum! You may also toss the broccoli with a tad of Parmesan cheese or a little minced garlic. If you want a quick alternative, use frozen broccoli spears (see note below).

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch broccoli (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
5 teaspoons unsalted butter (I use regular butter and omit the salt)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the broccoli into spears discarding the thick end.
  • Steam or cook the broccoli till tender; remove.
  • Melt the butter in a large non-stick fry pan over med-high heat.
  • When butter foams, add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the broccoli, lemon zest, salt, and pepper; cook tossing for 1-2 minutes till broccoli is well-coated.
  • NOTE: For a quick method, use 2 (10-ounce) boxes for frozen broccoli cooked according to directions on box; then follow the above recipe.
