Lemon-Garlic Broccoli

Lemon-Garlic Broccoli

by Pam on January 6, 2014

My kids seem to eat more veggies when they have lemon or vinegar on them, my husband does too. I decided to quickly steam some broccoli until it was crisp-tender then sautéed it with crushed red pepper flakes, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. It was tangy and garlicky with a bit of a kick and we all loved it.

In a steamer set over boiling water steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan then add the crushed red pepper flakes and minced garlic, cook, stirring constantly for 1 minutes. Add the lemon juice and steamed broccoli. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper; toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Garlic and Fresh Herb Orzo

Garlic and Fresh Herb Orzo

by Pam on August 21, 2013

I wanted to make a light and simple side dish to pair with the Dijon and Herb Panko-Crusted Halibut[1] and the Green Beans with Lemon and Garlic[2] I was serving for dinner. I had basil and parsley as well as tons of garlic so I decided it add them to some orzo. The herbs and garlic gave the simple pasta a nice flavor boost. We all really liked this orzo and thought it went really well with the fish. My kids squeezed lemon juice on top of theirs and said it was extra tasty.

Boil salted water over high heat. Add the orzo and cook it per instructions. Drain reserving 1/4 cup of cooking liquid.

Heat the olive oil in the same pot. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the drained orzo back to the pot and a bit of the reserved cooking liquid. Stir then season well with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Add the fresh parsley and basil then toss to coat evenly. Taste and re-season if needed or add more reserved water if dry. Serve immediately.
