1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1-1/2 cloves garlic, unpeeled, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

Wash broccoli, removing tough ends; cut into 3-inch pieces, separating floweretts.  Put into a steamer basket and steam for approximately 10 minutes, or until broccoli is bright green, but still tender-crisp in texture.  Remove onto heated serving dish.  Cover.

 

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil with the garlic; remove garlic after 3 to 4 minutes and discard.  Pour hot oil over broccoli.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice; sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Keep hot or serve immediately.

 

Serves 4.
