Ingredients
| 1/4 | cup | hazelnuts, coarsely chopped |
| 1 | Tbsp. | olive oil |
| 1 | lb. | broccoli, separated into 25 to 30 trimmed spears |
| 1/3 | cup | low-fat, reduced-sodium chicken broth |
| 1 | Tbsp. | fresh lemon zest |
| 2 | Tbsp. | minced fresh parsley |
| 1/2 | tsp. | minced garlic |
| kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
Directions
- Toast the hazelnuts in a small skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli spears, and let the broccoli cook 3 to 4 minutes on one side until browned. Turn the spears with tongs, and brown the other side for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cover, and steam for about 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
- Combine the lemon zest, parsley, garlic, and, if desired, salt and freshly ground pepper, and sprinkle the mixture over the cooked broccoli. Top with the toasted hazelnuts.
