Bring to a gentle boil. Add broccoli. Cover, and cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl. In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add garlic and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove from heat, and drizzle over broccoli. Cook's Notes When steaming a lot of veggies, do them in batches, making sure the water level doesn't get too low. Watch out for the hot steam when you remove the basket. Rate it Print
