Broccoli with Garlic and Butter

A family favorite.  I never in my wildest dreams thought that broccoli would be the vegetable that every member of my family likes!

2 heads of broccoli

4 cloves of garlic, minced, or if you're short on time, garlic powder will work

3 Tablespoons of butter

Cut the broccoli into florettes

Trim and peel

Steam for 5 minutes or so, or for as long as you desire.  I like mine a bit crisp rather than mushy.

(This works well, but something like this is ideal!)

At this point, the broccoli can be set aside and finished at mealtime.

Prepare the butter and garlic by melting the butter in a small skillet or saucepan over low heat.

Add the minced garlic (or garlic powder) and let simmer in the butter for 10 minutes or so.  

Pour the butter over the broccoli and warm them together if you've prepared the broccoli earlier.
