POTATO AND BROCCOLI GOODNESS



Potato and Broccoli Goodness image

This is a good recipe for people who are trying to improve their diet! Delicious and super! I got this recipe from an empanada recipe. This was supposed to be a filling for the empanada, but when I was making it one day I messed up the dough and ended up not knowing what to do with the filling, so I just took a piece of bread and slapped some of the filling on bread; and I was like 'This isn't so bad.' Ever since then, it's one of my favorite recipes. Hope you guys like it! Garnish with kale leaves if desired.

POTATO AND BROCCOLI BAKE

Potatoes, broccoli and leek baked in a Cheddar sauce and topped with Parmesan.

Provided by corema

Time 45m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head of broccoli (approx 360g), cut into florets
50g of cheddar cheese, grated
3 medium new potatoes (approx 70g each), chopped
1 tbsp vegetable oil
400ml of milk
25g of plain white flour
25g margarine/butter
2 tsp grated Parmesan
1 tsp English mustard
1 small leek (approx 210g), finely sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven. Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside. Keep the water for cooking the broccoli later.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and cook the leek for 4-5 minutes, or until soft.
  • Cook the broccoli in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
  • To make the cheese sauce, melt the margarine/butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook over a medium heat for 1 minute. Turn down the heat and add only as much milk as the mixture can absorb to make a slightly smoother paste. Work the paste into a smooth and glossy consistency before adding a little more milk. Repeat until the paste has a creamy consistency. Gradually stir in the remaining milk and turn up the heat. Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the cheddar cheese and English mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the potatoes, broccoli and leek with the cheese sauce and spoon into an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they hold their shape well during cooking. If you use a different type of potato, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You can do this by boiling, steaming, or roasting them. If you are boiling the potatoes, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the skillet.
  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you are using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you are cooking the potatoes and broccoli, be sure to give them enough room to brown. If the skillet is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of brown.
  • Season the dish to taste: Once the potatoes and broccoli are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.

Conclusion:

Potato and broccoli goodness is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender potatoes, crispy broccoli, and flavorful cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is both satisfying and nutritious.
