How to Make Broccoli With Browned Butter
- Cut broccoli stems into 1-inch thick slices. Remove broccoli flowerets from stems and separate.
- Steam broccoli florets and stems until crisp-tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- While broccoli is steaming, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the butter and cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a light brown color (about 3-5 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat immediately and discard the garlic.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the browned butter and lemon juice.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
