Chef's notes
Steamed broccoli is crisp-tender and vibrant green. The steaming brings out the broccoli’s natural sweetness.
The dish can be seasoned with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a big squeeze of lemon juice.
It pairs nicely with frittata, baked potato, vegan meatballs, or soup. It’s also great with pasta.
