This colorful steamed broccoli side dish is loaded with vitamin C! If you don’t have a steamer basket, improvise with a metal colander to prepare this healthy vegetable dish. I have played with this recipe to suit my tastes, but originally found it in BH&G.

Ingredients

1 lb broccoli, cut into flowerets
1 sweet red peppers or 1 yellow sweet pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
salt and pepper, to taste
