Broccolette with Lemon

Broccolette is a variety of broccoli, but is more tender and milder in flavor. With its fresh lemon flavor, it also goes well as a side with warmer weather main dishes. Just in time for spring!

Broccolette with Lemon

8 oz. broccoletti, cut
1/8 cup lemon juice
salt
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Saute garlic with broccolette in olive oil. Add salt and thyme. Cover, and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender but not overcooked. Then, add lemon juice, and allow to cook for 1-2 additional minutes. Finish with butter, and when melted, stir, and serve.

Serves approximately 3.
