Brown Butter, Lemon & Bacon Broccoli

This is my 100th post! Thanks for all of your support and interest with my blog!

1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
6 pieces of bacon, chopped
1 portobello mushroom, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable stock
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tbsp butter
Zest and juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper

Being by browning bacon in large frying pan. Add mushrooms to bacon, when bacon is about halfway cooked. When the mushrooms have softened and the bacon is cooked, add the chopped broccoli and vegetable stock. Allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until all vegetable stock has been evaporated. Remove vegetables and bacon from frying pan. 



Add butter to hot pan and allow to brown. Once melted the butter will foam up a bit, then subside. Watch carefully as lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan. Smell the butter; it should have a nutty aroma. Add garlic and lemon zest. Stir for 1 minutes. Add the vegetables and bacon back to the pan. Add the lemon juice and stir. Season with salt and pepper. 

Enjoy!
