Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch broccoli (1 1/4 pounds)
1 cup heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons grated parmesan
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Peel broccoli stems, then coarsely chop stems and florets. Cook broccoli in boiling salted water (1 1/2 teaspoons salt for 4 quarts water) until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop cooking.
  • Simmer cream, garlic, nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium saucepan, uncovered, until slightly thickened and reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes.
  • Add broccoli and simmer, mashing with a potato masher, until coarsely mashed and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in parmesan and lemon juice.
