  1. Didn't taste quite right to us - too lemony, maybe? Easy dish, and nice clear directions, so I might think about tweaking to taste.
     
  2. This is indeed tasty and easy. I only had cauliflower; and I had no lemon zest so I put in maybe 1/4 to 1/2 tsp lemon juice. Something didn't taste exactly right- I'll make again and maybe reduce the chives and add a pinch of salt.
     
  3. Great! I didn't have cauliflower, so used all broccoli. I also tossed in a little lemon juice - maybe 1/2 tsp.- in addition to the lemon zest. The chives added a nice little punch. I did use the fresh chives - I don't think that dried chives would have the same flavour. Thanks for a great recipe Normaone.
