Baby Broccoli with Lemon and Dill


Prep and cook time: 20 minutes


1 1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoon fresh dill, snipped
2 tablespoon zest of lemon , finely grated
2 teaspoon olive oil

coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 bunch baby broccoli
3 tablespoons butter


[1] In a large skillet, combine the broth, dill, lemon zest, oil and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes

[2] Add broccoli and butter to the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Drain the broccoli and transfer to a serving bowl.

We had chicken broth in the house, so we just used that instead of vegetable broth. It didn't seem to make the broccoli taste chicken-y or anything like that.
Ryan said he could taste the dill, but to me this broccoli just tasted like steamed broccoli with butter. This dish didn't take much time and was a hit with even the kids!
