Broccoli in cream sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make broccoli in cream sauce? Prepare your food. You can use either frozen or fresh broccoli. Cream is suitable for any fat content from 10 to 20%, depending on taste preferences. The main thing is that they are fresh, natural and of high quality. You can add ground black pepper to the sauce. If desired, use greens when serving, I used dill.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse frozen broccoli with cold water, then let the water drain. If you are using fresh broccoli, separate the head into florets, cutting off any parts that are too thick. Boil the cabbage in boiling salted water over medium heat for 7-8 minutes. It doesn’t take longer to prevent the cabbage from falling apart.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the broccoli in a colander to drain.

4. STEP 4

   

   For the sauce, melt the butter in a frying pan. Do this on the lowest heat possible so that it doesn't start to burn.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add flour, mix thoroughly until smooth. Fry the flour and butter over low heat with constant stirring until golden brown.

6. STEP 6

   

   Lightly heat the cream in a separate saucepan. Pour them in a thin stream into the frying pan, actively stirring the mass so that all the flour lumps disperse and the sauce becomes homogeneous.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bring the sauce to a boil over low heat and stirring constantly. Add salt, add nutmeg, mix well.

8. STEP 8

   

   Boil the sauce until slightly thickened, 2 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add broccoli to sauce and stir gently. Keep the cabbage in the sauce over low heat for 1-2 minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs when serving. Bon appetit!

Very rich sauce. For all cheese lovers! Can be prepared as a separate dish. If used as a side dish, cook while hot before serving, because the cheese hardens (when reheated, it is no longer a sauce). Add salt depending on the salinity of the cheese (I did not add salt). Serve with pasta
