Ingredients
  • 170g fresh broccoli florets (net weight from 350g bunch - stalks removed)
  • 1 TBSP coarse Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
  • 15g unsalted butter
  • ½ garlic clove
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • pinch of fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
  • sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper
  • 160g crème fraîche
Instructions
  1. place the broccoli florets in a saucepan, add water so they’re all submerged and then add coarse salt.
  2. bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes (or 3 mins if you prefer them more tender); drain and leave in a colander to lose any residual moisture.
  3. meanwhile, mince the garlic and cook it for 30 seconds in the butter; then add Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and creme fraiche, and heat for 1 minute.
  4. pre-heat grill (broiler) to 275°C.
  5. arrange the broccoli florets in a baking dish and pour the velouté all over them.
  6. grill (broil) for about 15 minutes, until nicely caramelised and golden brown.
  7. serve immediately with your main course.
Notes
Can be prepared in advance and re-heated if not consumed immediately.

If using sour cream, don't let the sauce boil.
