This Julia Child inspired recipe is always a huge hit, despite being broccoli!
—Keely
Instructions
Allow broccoli to thaw, just enough to separate. Fill a large stockpot with water, 2 tsp salt and 1 stick of butter. Bring to boil, add broccoli and boil slowly for 6-8 minutes or until tender. Drain, then spread broccoli in one layer in large serving dish.
Melt 1½ sticks butter in skillet over medium-high heat and continue to cook, swirling occasionally until butter is just brown and releases a nutty aroma (about 1.5 minutes). Off heat add shallots, garlic, ¾ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper and stir until garlic and shallots are fragrant (about one minute). Stir in lemon juice and thyme. Add to broccoli, toss to coat and serve immediately.
