                Broccoli and Cauliflower with Lemon-Thyme Sauce

1/2 pound chopped cauliflower
Boiling water for steaming
1/2 pound broccoli florets
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon minced fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 scallion, minced

   Prepare a steamer, then toss in the cauliflower and cover.  Steam
for about 1 1/2 minutes, then add in the broccoli, re-cover and
continue to steam until the vegetables are just tender, about 4
minutes.
   Preheat a large saut‚ pan on medium high, then use a pastry brush
to paint on the olive oil.  Toss in the garlic, cauliflower and
broccoli and saut‚ until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Then toss in the
thyme, sesame oil and lemon juice and continue to saut‚ for another
minute.  Toss with the scallion and serve as a side dish, or make
ahead and serve very slightly chilled as a salad.

cool, then pack in freezer bags or containers.
