Broccoli and Cauliflower in Mustard Sauce

A very quick and tasty side dish that would go well with a lot of main dishes. I served ours with a white fish main, which I will be posting and it went really well. The combined butter, lemon and mustard work together really well and because it is so quick to put together it makes a great side as there is no fuss.
