    Lemon Steamed Broccoli from 5DollarDinners.com

    If you’re planning on having broccoli at your Easter dinner, I beg of you to make it like this. All you need (besides the broccoli!) is 2 lemons. It’ll work with 1 lemon, but 2 is just right.

    It’s super simple…you squeeze some of the lemon into the water that will steam the broccoli. Then you add zest from the lemons in with the broccoli heads while it’s steaming. It’s like a double infusion.

    And just like that…broccoli has never tasted so perfect!

      What do you mean by 4 broccoli heads. How much is that? Like 4 “bunches” of broccoli?
