"Not sure where I got this recipe but I've had it for years. We really enjoy this broccoli because there is no heavy sauce and it's so refreshing with the lemon."

Lovely lemon flavor! I only had 2 heads of broccoli, and adjusted the recipe accordingly. I can't wait to try this with fish......had it with chicken tonight. My son, who usually says "broccoli again?" went back for 2nds and 3rds. Thanks for sharing! Made for your win in Football Pool.

Another great recipe from lazyme! I loved the tangy lemon touch to this recipe. It really added a lot to the steamed broccoli. Made for your win in the Football Pool tag game.

This is a very pleasant, fresh-tasting broccoli recipe. It's really nice with a chicken or fish recipe that also uses lemon. Thanks for posting!
