Morning Broccoli with Balsamic & Lemon
Catherine Barclay
A bright, simple morning ritual made from steamed broccoli, a mist of balsamic, and a generous squeeze of lemon. What started as an experiment has become a daily essential — a fibre-rich, vitamin-packed bowl that wakes up digestion, steadies energy, and delivers a clean, refreshing start to the day. Strange at first, indispensable now.
- 1 head fresh broccoli chopped into florets
- 2-3 sprays balsamic vinegar spray
- 1 fresh lemon halved
Chop a full head of broccoli into bite-sized florets and place them in a microwave-safe bowl, add a small amount of water then cover.
Microwave on high for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender.
Split the cooked broccoli evenly between two bowls.
Give each bowl a light spray of balsamic vinegar.
Squeeze half a lemon over each bowl, adjusting to taste.
