Because broccoli thrives in cooler weather, this is a terrific winter variation on the classic green beans almondine.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    20 min

  • Yield

    Makes 4 to 6 (side dish) servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds broccoli, stems peeled, then head cut into 2-inch-wide spears
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook broccoli in a steamer rack over boiling water in a large wide pot, covered, until stems are just tender when pierced with a knife, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove steamer from pot and discard cooking water. Cool broccoli 5 minutes.

    Step 2
