Broccoli with Shallots and Lemon

Bring 1-inch of water to a boil in a large deep skillet. Add broccoli; cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain.

Melt butter in same skillet. Add shallots; cover and cook, stirring often until golden and tender, about 5 minutes.

Add broccoli, lemon peel, thyme, salt and pepper; toss over low heat until broccoli is coated and hot, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to serving bowl. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

If you don’t have fresh thyme on hand, don’t substitute dried, go without it or use fresh parsley instead.
