| | Broccoli with Buttery Lemon Crunch
1 1/2 pounds of broccoli, washed
1/4 cup of butter or margarine
1/2 cup of coarse dry enriched bread crumbs
1 tablespoon of grate lemon peel
3 tablespoons of butter or margarine
1 small clove garlic, crushed in a garlic press or minced
1/2 teaspoon of salt
a few grains of black pepper
Cook broccoli in a small amount of boiling salted water until just tender. (Cook uncovered 5 minutes, then cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, or cook, covered, the full time and lift the lid 3 or 4 times during cooking.)
Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup of butter in a large skillet, add bread crumbs and heat, stirring frequently, until well browned. Remove crumbs from butter with a slotted spoon and mix with the lemon peel.
Put 3 tablespoons butter, garlic, salt, and pepper into skillet, heat until butter is lightly browned. Add broccoli and turn gently until well coated with butter.
Arrange broccoli in a heated vegetable dish and pour remaining garlic butter over it. Top with the "lemoned" crumbs. About 6 servings |
