Roasted Broccoli W Lemon Garlic & Toasted Pine Nuts
By: ms_bold
Aug 20, 2003
I adopted this recipe when another chef left the site. The text from my original review stated, "I just made this for my lunch. Yum! I had a smaller portion of broccoli, and therefore downsized the recipe. The flavors are awesome together. I used all fresh ingredients (no bottled lemon juice here!). Since I was cooking only for myself, I prepared the lemon garlic butter in a small saute pan and then tossed the broccoli in that pan to coat it. (No need to dirty a serving dish for just me!) I can't wait to prepare this for others. The lemon garlic butter lends this to be a great side for fish...I am thinking grilled salmon would be great." I have since prepared this as a side dish for a multitude of meals. I love the broccoli, lemon, garlic combo.

I've made this recipe LOTS...even those who don't like broccoli love it! My family asks for it when we all get together for dinner.

I tried this recipe when MeanChef was still on the site. I suppose I never rated it, but this broccoli is awesome! I have made this sooooo many times and love it every time.

Excellent side dish. I really liked the broccoli being roasted, and the pine nuts added the perfect finishing touch. I went a little easy on the lemon juice, using about 1 1/2 tablespoons, and I thought it was wonderful. Thanks for the recipe! Dianne

Really wonderful! Perfect balance of fresh lemon and garlic flavors with nutty roasted broccoli. Beautiful as well. I'd advise making twice as much as you think you'll need. Thanks, Mean Chef, you rock!
