ELEGANT BROCCOLI



Elegant Broccoli image

This is a delicious side dish that I make for special occasions. This makes a very thick sauce and I like to thin it a little with butter which results in a richer tasting sauce.

Provided by Carrie Ann

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 kg) bag broccoli stem, cooked and drained (or 1 lb. bag)
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon oxo chicken bouillon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups milk
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
2 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Place broccoli in 9x13 dish.
  • In saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Add flour, oxo and salt; stir to form a smooth paste.
  • Gradually add milk, stirring constantly; bring to a boil.
  • Cook and stir 2 minutes.
  • Add cream cheese; stir until melted (if mixture seems too thick, add a small amount of hot, melted butter to thin).
  • Add onions.
  • Pour over broccoli.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and paprika.
  • Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until bubbly.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets.
  • Prepare broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Use fresh, organic vegetables, high-quality olive oil, and flavorful cheeses.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
  • Season the broccoli well: Broccoli has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Broccoli is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By following these tips, you can create delicious and healthy broccoli dishes that the whole family will enjoy.
