Carrageenan Free Steamed Broccoli with Butter

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the hardest to get exactly right, and this steamed broccoli proves that a little technique goes a long way. The florets come out vibrantly green and just tender enough — not mushy, not squeaky — with a quick steam that preserves their natural flavor and color. A knob of real unsalted butter and a pinch of sea salt are all it takes to turn a humble vegetable into something you'll actually want to eat. Carrageenan, a common additive found in many processed butter alternatives and dairy products, has no place here — just clean, simple ingredients that do exactly what they're supposed to do. Fresh parsley adds a bright, herby finish if you have it on hand, though the dish holds its own without it. It's the kind of side that pairs with almost anything and comes together faster than you'd expect.
