Doesn’t tell how much salt or any other instructions
Simple and very good! This is a nice change for me. Thank you for the recipe!
I mix panko bread crumbs with some lemon zest. After the broccoli is cooked, toss with a little oilve oil and top with panko and lemon zest mixture. Yum!
Easy to do and great tip with lemon to add at end.
