BROCCOLI WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Broccoli with Blue Cheese Sauce image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 cups milk, warmed
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 heads broccoli
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 Fresno chile, minced

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until the butter begins to toast the flour, about 3 minutes. Add the rosemary and nutmeg and whisk for 15 seconds to toast. Add the milk. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the blue cheese and whisk until melted. Set aside over low heat to keep warm.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water and set aside. Line a tray with paper towels.
  • Trim the broccoli stems and break the heads into equal-size florets. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and let cook until bright green and tender but still with a slight resistance when pierced with a knife, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to the ice bath for about 10 seconds just to shock and stop the cooking. Using a spider or a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli from the ice bath to the paper towel-lined tray. Give the tray a good shake to get any excess water off the broccoli. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter together with the olive oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the broccoli and toss gently with a wooden spoon or tongs to coat. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the broccoli from the heat and ladle the warmed blue cheese sauce over the top. Garnish with the minced Fresno and freshly ground black pepper.

ULTIMATE BROCCOLI - BLUE CHEESE CASSEROLE



Ultimate Broccoli - Blue Cheese Casserole image

This recipe has been slightly modified to suit the taste of people who prefer a little more taste in the casserole. Other recipes for Broccoli and Blue Cheese casserole are often runny, have only a slight flavor to them, and over cooked broccoli. We make this at Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July, and other special occasions. It is the only dish of our 9-12 other dishes that doesn't ever make it to the refrigerator since it is completely gone on the first pass around the table. It is considered dessert by my 14 year-old son because it is so delicious.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and remove any tough stems. You can also blanch the broccoli for 1-2 minutes to help it retain its color and nutrients.
  • Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to prevent the broccoli from sticking and will create nice grill marks. Aim for a grill temperature of 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Leave some space between the broccoli florets so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Make a delicious blue cheese dressing: Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the grilled broccoli over the blue cheese dressing: This is a great way to enjoy the broccoli as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Grilled broccoli over blue cheese dressing is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The broccoli is tender and flavorful, and the blue cheese dressing adds a creamy and tangy touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
