Broccoli and Cauliflower

With our corned beef I also made this broccoli  and cauliflower dish.  It was green and festive and went well with our St. Patrick's Day feast.  Of course, it is savory enough to be served at any time with any main dish.

Broccoli and Cauliflower

1-2 packages of fresh broccoli/cauliflower mix
1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 Tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, divided

Put broccoli and cauliflower mix in steamer in a pot and steam until crisp and tender.  While steaming the broccoli/cauliflower, mix together butter, mustard and grated lemon peel.  Add all but 1/2 tablespoon of chives.  Remove steamed broccoli/cauliflower and remove water from pot.  Put butter mixture into pot and add the broccoli/cauliflower,  Toss together and sprinkle the reserved 1/2 tablespoon of chives on top.  Serve and enjoy!
