Sorry I am not posting much tonight. It's getting far too late for me to be up. I worked, visited my dad, worked out (those last two were of course the highlights of the day) and I volunteered. I love to volunteer, but tonight it was at a union hall where smoking is allowed, it made my throat sore - that makes me cranky.
Oh well, this recipe makes me happy. I am a big believer there should be a green veggie at every meal, even at the holidays.
Broccoli and Peppers
Ingredients:
1 pound broccoli, cut into florets
1 red or yellow sweet pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine or regular margarine
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Place broccoli and pepper in a steamer basket over simmering water. Steam, covered, for 8 to 12 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain.
2. Arrange on a serving platter. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan melt the margarine. Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice, and pepper. Drizzle over broccoli mixture. Makes 6 servings.
