Few of us would pick broccoli and cauliflower as our favorite foods, but with the right seasoning, these antioxidant-rich veggies can also be a tasty side dish.
Ingredients
1/2 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cups broccoli cut into florets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
Steam broccoli and cauliflower until tender (about 10 minutes).
In a small saucepan, mix the lemon juice, oil, and garlic, and cook over low heat for 2 or 3 minutes.
Put the vegetables in a serving dish. Pour the lemon sauce over the vegetables. Garnish with parsley.
