When ready to serve, brown the pine nuts in the butter and oil in a large frying pan. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the broccoli to the frying pan and stir fry until piping hot. Season to taste with a pinch of nutmeg, salt and ground black pepper. Stir in the raisins and lemon juice and sprinkle with the pine nuts. Serve at once.
