Don’t you hate a simple steamed broccoli served just with salt? I bet you when its served to you the feeling would be similar to you lying on a hospital bed served with a fat free, low sodium, high fibre diet. But don’t worry you can still have a better tasting broccoli that is still hospital approved, thanks to lemon and garlic which gives it more life, not sure of the olive oil though but I guess in moderation I think it’s all fine.

So, if you are looking for a simple side dish that is tasty, healthy and preparation is next to nothing then this is it.
