This was pretty good. I skipped the steaming step and just sauteed everything together. It does seem like it needs some other seasoning, the main flavor was lemon.

I followed the recipe loosely –very loosely. For instance, scaling the recipe down to two servings for Hubs and me, 5/8 of a mushroom to 1-1/2 cups broccoli just doesn’t make sense (or in a full recipe, 5-1/2 cups of broccoli and 2 mushrooms?) I used quite a bit more mushrooms than that, along with shallots rather than green onion and no lemon juice. I sautéed the mushrooms, garlic and shallots in olive oil, then tossed it with the crisp-tender broccoli. Nice looking broccoli.

We didn't care much for this. The lemon juice made the dish taste sour. My teen complained.

This was ok, but found the lemon flavour a bit overwhelming... next time I would add less lemon. The mushrooms helped cut the lemon flavour a bit (I forgot to add them at first as my partner doesn't like mushrooms, so was adding them only to my dish). I did use chives instead of green onions so perhaps that might have helped cut the lemon flavour a bit more.

I used a steam in bag of broccoli, a little more garlic and left out the mushrooms for my husband. Overall, it was very good.

This was just okay for us. It's certainly not unpleasant in any way, but it's definitely missing something. Thanks :)

Surprisingly good! I wanted to use up some fresh broccoli and it was to be served with lasagna, so I thought I'd give this a try. I used bacon grease instead of oil, and I used a few liberal shakes of garlic powder as we're out of fresh garlic. 2 large-ish heads of broccoli was around 5 cups if that helps with how much to buy. :) I omitted the mushrooms as there were lots in the lasagna. It was really quite good! Next time, I'll use bacon grease again (gives a really nice subtle bacon flavour) but I'll cut the lemon juice in half as the lemon-bacon aftertaste was a bit much. Thanks for sharing, Melanie!
