Lemon Broccoli

My sister gave this to me and I was too excited to try it. I love sharing good recipes. (Can you tell?)

Ingredients
1 large bunch broccoli cut into spears - Don't leave out the stems either. There's so much there, but if you only use the trees, you lose a ton. When you're taking bites of it, you can't tell if it's mixed in with stems, and then you get so much more broccoli taste.
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced - Mine was red, which you can see in the photo. I normally use yellow.
1 cup thinly sliced celery
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel - Don't forget about this lovely tip when it comes to lemon zest!
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steam broccoli until crisp-tender. Rinse in cold waster; drain and set aside. In a large skillet, saute the onion, celery and garlic in butter for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.  Add the lemon peel and juice, salt, pepper and broccoli. Heat through. 

So please excuse my photo, aside from the blurriness, my broccoli is most obviously overcooked! It is the saddest shade of green. I had it steaming above my rice in the cooker and totally forgot about it. I was seriously in mourning over the sad color of this broccoli. But let me tell you that the broccoli tasted great. It was a wonderful side dish. I love good veggie dishes that I can eat with a plain rice, and just mix together. This was mixed with a little bam chicken, that I believe will be posted next. So stay tuned!
