My husband and I both really enjoyed this recipe. It was a nice change to broccoli with cheese sauce. I used two crowns of fresh broccoli that I steamed. While it cooked I melted 1/4 cup of light butter (it has a large water content anyway so I figured it evened out. I then juiced one lemon added a little cayenne salt pepper and garlic. I let this simmer until the water was gone from the butter. I poured this over the broccoli and sprinkled with about a tablespoon of parmesean cheese. The broccoli has a very light lemon taste and was perfect. I will remember this and make again in the future.

My husband 17 year old son and I liked this- and we're not big broccoli eaters. I used fresh broccoli steamed it until just done and then poured on the sauce stirred and let it sit for a few minutes. I did not use the full 1/4 tsp cayenne and I added garlic salt.
Using frozen broccoli I ended up with a very soggy limp vegetable. Maybe it would have been better with fresh.
I didn't use cayanne pepper instead I used lemon pepper. I cooked both carrots and fresh broccoli. It was very zesty and good.
Simple and excellent. I had a large lemon so only used half of its juice - which was a good decision. It was a perfect balance of flavors. A new favorite (except with my 8 y.o. daughter who likes broccoli plain).
So good...a nice twist on plain old broccoli. A quick and easy way to add some delicious color to your plate.
This was pretty good. I too used fresh broccoli steamed it and poured the juice over the broccoli. It still needs a little bit something but I don't know what that is. Maybe I just didn't use enough salt. I can't help thinking a creamy lemon sauce would be good but I don't know how to make one.
This did not go over well with my family. A little too sour for us. Nobody would eat after their first piece. Sorry
Like Nance I steamed my broccoli just in water and then poured the sauce over. Everyone loved it and thanks!!
