The brocoli flavor was completely overpowered by the lemon flavoring. I would have liked it better with just the butter and almonds. May try it again that way.

This is a very good recipe. The combination on flavors is incredible. It even converted my two "green-beans-are-the only-green-veggie-I'll-eat" kids! I am impressed. Five stars plus. Broccoli is a Super Food Rx.

I didn't think the sauce was too lemony as some previous reviewers have said, I thought it tasted just right. I did wish it had a little more body to it though. I'm not sure how it would be accomplished, but I wanted more on my broccoli instead of in the bottom of the dish.

Very good. I put in more lemon than called for, and it was delicious

Great way to do broccoli! I toasted the almonds first, which was a really important suggestion. And as for amount of lemon to use (other reviewers thought it was too lemony) I used 1/3 of a lemon, and it was just right. Will keep this recipe handy. Thanks!

This is a great side dish! I toasted the almonds before adding them to the sauce - toasting really brings out the flavour of the almonds. Next time I make this dish, I will only add one tablespoon of lemon juice though as we found the lemon flavour really overpowered all the other flavours.

Good, but next time, I think I will toast the almonds. I think it would give the dish a more interesting flavor.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I loved this recipe. My boyfriend, on the other hand, loves broccoli and thought it was too lemony. So that averages out to 4 stars. I will definitely make this again, maybe with a bit less lemon juice.

Great flavor, very easy, will definitely make again and again! I used frozen broccoli and steamed. I toasted the almonds on a cookie sheet in the oven. Instead of getting another pot dirty I just added the butter, lemon and almonds directly to the serving dish. Delicious flavor! And soo easy. Thanks!

I have made this many times and continue to love it. I add the juice from half of a fresh lemon in addition to the lemon juice to add an extra kick. Otherwise it can be a little bland.

Something different. Don't know if I would prepare this again. Had to add seasoning salt and black pepper, otherwise it was too lemony.

I made this for a potluck and even non-vegetable eaters liked it. The almonds didn't really seem to fit with the rest of the dish, though. I may try this with asparagus.

I love the freshness of the lemon and the almonds bring an interesting texture to the dish. All of the flavours mix very well making a refreshing dish.
