This would be nice tossed with pasta, maybe add some cooked chicken or shrimp, you could also add in some hot pepper or sauteed mushrooms too. I used garlic-scented olive oil, fresh thyme, and the zest from the lemons I squeezed for the juice.

Wonderful basic recipe, and so glad to see the steaming time. I made this as written but added a generous I'd recommend this to anyone - it's THAT good! It's a wonderful memory of my grandmother & my childhood. My mother got the recipe and I grew up having it all my life. Growing up, my grandmother from Italy made this dish all the time. So simple,so delicious! Thought about adding Parmesan, but tried it 'straight' and was not disappointed. Love this and have used this method for other vegetables too. I was so worried I had ruined the dish but WOW!!!! The toasted garlic took the dish to a new level! It ended up toasting the garlic a LOT more. I absolutely loved it!!! I made my oil, garlic, and fresh squeezed lemon juice but made the mistake of leaving the garlic mixture on the burner while it was cooling down. Add 3½ cups broccoli florets, cover and steam until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. I have never had broccoli this way but I wanted to try a different way then browned butter. Bring 1 inch water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. I steamed the broccoli in the microwave for 3 minutes and it was just the right amount of al dente and bright green! I had been serving lightly steamed broccoli with lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper for a long time, but adding the fragrant garlic oil really makes the difference! I tripled the garlic and added the lemon juice just before serving along with red pepper flakes.
