Ingredients
- 170g fresh broccoli florets (net weight from 350g bunch - stalks removed)
- 1 TBSP coarse Himalayan pink salt
- 15g unsalted butter
- ½ garlic clove
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- pinch of fine Himalayan pink salt
- sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper
- 160g crème fraîche
Instructions
- place the broccoli florets in a saucepan, add water so they’re all submerged and then add coarse salt.
- 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.
- 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.
- pre-heat grill (broiler) to 275°C.
- arrange the broccoli florets in a baking dish and pour the velouté all over them.
- grill (broil) for about 15 minutes, until nicely caramelised and golden brown.
- serve immediately with your main course.
