• 1¹/₂ pounds broccoli, washed
• ¹/₄ cup butter or margarine
• ¹/₂ cup coarse dry enriched bread crumbs
• 1  tablespoon grated lemon peel
• 3  tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1  small clove garlic, crushed in a garlic press or minced
• ¹/₂ teaspoon salt
• Few grains black pepper

1. Cook broccoli in a small amount of boiling salted water until just tender. (Cook uncovered 5 minutes, then cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, or cook, covered, the full time and lift the lid 3 or 4 times during cooking.)
2. Meanwhile, heat ¹/₄ cup butter in a large skillet; add bread crumbs and heat, stirring frequently, until well browned. Remove crumbs from butter with a slotted spoon and mix with the lemon peel.
3. Put 3 tablespoons butter, garlic, salt, and pepper into skillet; heat until butter is lightly browned. Add broccoli and turn gently until well coated with butter.
4. Arrange broccoli in a heated vegetable dish and pour remaining garlic butter over it. Top with the “lemoned” crumbs.
