Microwaved Broccoli with Lemon

(makes 8 servings)

 

2medium-size heads broccoli, about 3 pounds

juice and grated zest of 1 lemon

 

Cut the florets away from the large stems. If desired, peel the stems

and cut into 1inch (2.5 cm) lengths. Cut stems in half if very thick.

 

Arrange broccoli in shallow microwave-safe dish. Cover with plastic

wrap, venting at one corner.

 

Microwave on HIGH for about 6 minutes, until just tender. Just before

serving, sprinkle the lemon juice and zest on the broccoli (doing it

earlier will turn the broccoli gray).
