  1. Evelyn, loved the browned butter, nutty flavor but wish I had cut back on the lemon juice...will definately do that next time as I thought it gave it too tart a taste. TY for a recipe I will make again!
     
  2. Yes indeedy, this was simply delicious...nutty and flavorful. I had not used browned butter much before so leaned heavily on Evelyn's instructions. I hated to throw that garlic away though! The lemon juice was necessary to make the elements of the dish all come together. My DH added some red pepper flakes and thought they went well with the broccoli and didn't distract. I ate mine straight and will definitely be finding other ways to use browned butter.
     
  3. This was an easy way to dress up broccoli. I let the butter get almond in color and then tossed with steamed broccoli. Nice nutty flavor.
     
  4. The nutty flavor of the browned butter with the hint of garlic and the lilt of lemon juice. YUMMY!! Thanks evelyn!!
     
  5. This was a different twist on steamed broccoli for me. Next time, I will not cook the butter to nut-brown, I prefer it lighter. I did enjoy the garlic and lemon flavor. Thanks, Evelyn!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
