These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Lemon-Parmesan Broccoli

We had this as a side to Pan-Fried Halibut with Tomato Basil Saute, and the flavors went together really well!


Yield: Serves 6 (serving size: 2/3 cup)
Ingredients:
12 ounces broccoli florets (5 cups raw)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons shaved fresh Parmesan
Preparation:
1. Arrange broccoli in a steamer. Steam, covered, 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Place broccoli in a large bowl.
2. Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and garlic; cook 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant. Add oil mixture, rind, juice, and salt to broccoli; toss to coat. Sprinkle broccoli mixture with cheese.
