What a great way to cook broccoli! Even my broccoli hating b/f enjoyed this recipe. I loved the addition of fresh lemon juice. Thanks for sharing.

Very good way of making broccoli. Easy and yummy. Used spray butter and seasoned with salt/pepper and crushed red peppers. Very good!

Delicious and simple. I used butter spray and lemon juice from the bottle, but I think this dish is wonderful. I also toasted almonds and sesame seeds and added them after tasting the recipe with the original ingredients listed. I bought a lot of broccoli on sale at the grocery store and wanted to be sure not to waste any of it. Thank you for this lovely, simple, & nutritious recipe.

Hey Jude, this is one of our favorite ways to have broccoli. I usually add some Mrs. Dash for flavor, zest from the lemon, and cook in those wonderful microwave steam bags. Thanks for posting.
