Broccoli with lemon and garlic

Approx. 55 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 2 servings.

I wanted a nice simple side dish tonight, and I was too lazy to get out the steamer for the broccoli, so I decided to do a shallow water boil instead. The broccoli with the lemon and garlic was pretty good, but it would have been even better if I had added a little bit (approx. 1 Tbs) of butter to it.

Ingredients

• 1 small bunch broccoli (approx. 3 cups)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 lemon
• water

Directions

1. Grate garlic and the zest of lemon peel.
2. Cut broccoli into small florets, including approx. 3" lengths of stem.
3. Add enough water to cover the bottom of a skillet.
4. Bring to boil and add broccoli, grated garlic, and half of the lemon zest.
5. Once broccoli is tender and water is evaporated off, squeeze in fresh lemon juice and toss.
6. Serve and garnish with remaining lemon zest.
