Microwave Broccoli in Lemon Sauce

From an Andy Boy brand broccoli wrapper. I alway microwave broccoli plain in a steamer and this sounds like a nice change of pace with the ginger and lemon peel.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  bunch broccoli
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1  tablespoon flour
• 6  tablespoons milk
• 1  teaspoon lemon peel, grated
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

1. Place broccoli spears in a 1 1/2 quart microwavable covered dish and cook on high for 6-8 minutes. Note-I think recipe had a typo because it said 14-16 minutes-I would have a fire with that much heat for fresh broccoli so use your judgment.
2. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat butter and blend in flour and gradually add milk.
4. Microwave uncovered on medium 2 minutes until thick and smooth.
5. Stir in lemon peel and juice slowly to avoid curdling.
6. Add salt and ginger and Pour sauce over the broccoli.
7. Heat again 2 minutes to heat through.
