recipecommunity | Broccoli with Shallot-Lemon Sauce

I always double this as my whole family (except for DD) loves broccoli and I could eat so much of it this way!

Broccoli with Shallot-Lemon Sauce

1 large heads broccoli, cut into small florets
4 T. unsalted butter (if salted, use less salt)
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 T. lemon juice
1 t. grated lemon peel
¼ t. sugar
¼ t. salt
¼ t. pepper

Cook broccoli florets in lightly salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Cook butter about 4 minutes, until it is light brown (watch carefully; butter can go from browned to burnt very quickly). Add shallots to pan; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in lemon juice and peel; cook 1 minute. Add sugar, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add broccoli to pan; toss until evenly coated and heated through.

Serves 10.
