3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons oil
2 (12 ounce) packages frozen broccoli
1 onion, chopped
½ clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch ground paprika

Steps:
