Vegetable finishing for broccoli or asparagus or brussel sprouts or whatever vegetable you want!

Jordan wanted the recipe for vegetable seasoning. There are several options limited only by your imagination but here are some family favorites:
Roasting vegs - Rachel's latest favorite! Cut up your vegs, sprinkle with olive oil, mix to coat, then add salt and pepper and seasonings like oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, just one or a combination of several spices then roast in the oven at 350 till crisp tender. Yummy. Lower fat here if you care!

Another is to melt 1/4 c butter in the microwave with the juice of a whole lemon and pour it over steamed vegs and then add salt and pepper and any seasoning you want.

This one was given to me by a friend long ago: Put 1&1/2 TB of dijohn mustard in a bowl, add almost the same amount of honey, stir together and pour over steamed vegs after pouring a few TB of butter over them first. Salt and Pepper to taste. Especially good with brussel sprouts because they tend to be bitter if you don't cook them the DAY you buy them!
