Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch broccoli or broccolini
  • 1 lemon zested and halved
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • Cut broccoli into large florets (with stems) and steam until almost tender. Stop cooking by immersing quickly in cold water, drain, set aside.
  • Warm butter and add lemon zest and garlic. Keep warm and set aside.
  • Heat grill on high. Toss broccoli in oil, then place them and halved lemons on hot grill. Grill until slightly charred and broccoli is just tender.
  • To serve, drizzle butter mixture over broccoli, then squeeze a bit of charred lemon over top (or whisk in some of the squeezed charred lemons into the butter mixture, to taste, then pour over veggies).
