• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and set them aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the yellow onion and garlic cloves. Peel and chop the potato into small cubes.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
