LEMON-GARLIC VEGETABLES





1 lemon


5 tbsp. butter


1 tbsp. chopped garlic


1-1/2 cups baby carrots


1-1/2 c. red pearl onions, peeled*


1-1/2 c. cauliflower florets


1-1/2 c. broccoli florets


1/2 tsp. salt


1/8 tsp. freshly ground pepper





With vegetable peeler, remove outer layer of peel from lemon, avoiding bitter white pith beneath peel; place peel in small saucepan. Add butter and garlic. Heat over low heat until butter is melted; simmer 5 minutes. (Do not brown butter or garlic; remove from heat occasionally if necessary.) Remove from heat; let stand 15 minutes. Strain; discard lemon peel and garlic. Skim off any foam or particles from surface; let remaining particles settle to bottom. Pour off clear butter, discarding milky residue on bottom. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (Butter can be prepared up to 3 days ahead.) Fill large saucepan half full with water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Add carrots; boil 5 minutes. Add peeled onions; boil 3 minutes. Add cauliflower and broccoli; boil 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain thoroughly. Run cold water over vegetables to stop cooking; drain well. (Vegetables can be prepared to this point up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) To serve, melt lemon-garlic butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add vegetables; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. (If vegetables have been refrigerated, cook 5 minutes or until heated through.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Makes 6 servings.





* NOTE: To peel pearl onions, place in boiling water and boil 3 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water to cool. Cut off root end and squeeze opposite end (onion should pop right out of its skin).
