Method

  • step 1

    Snap the broccoli into medium-sized florets. It’s important to make them an even size so they all cook at the same rate. Put the florets into a steamer or colander set over a pan of boiling water. Cover with a lid or tight-fitting foil and steam for 5 mins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, place the butter in a small pan and season well. Heat until the butter is foaming. When ready to serve, tip the broccoli into warmed serving dish and drizzle with the butter. Serve straight away.

i always steam my broccoli for 7-8 minutes, that leaves it bright green and a bit crunchy - just perfect, as they serve it in restaurants. sometimes i swap butter for sesame oil, and sprinkle a few nuts or seeds on top of it. quickest, tastiest and healthiest dinner ever:)

Broccoli is so good steamed! It doesn't need the butter though, and this recipe is a little conservative about cooking times.
