Ingredients

1 2/3 cup broccoli, cut into florets and diced stalks   200 g
1 tbsp butter, unsalted   14 g
  salt to taste    
  ground pepper to taste    

Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the broccoli.

Method

  1. Prepare the broccoli: remove the stalks and set them aside for another use. Blanch the florets in a pot of salted boiling water 4-5 min until tender-crisp. Drain the broccoli, keeping some of the cooking water for the purée. Immediately plunge the broccoli into a bowl of cold water to stop cooking (this also helps keeping them green), then put it in a blender or food processor, adding just enough of the cooking water to dilute the purée (about ½ cup). Add salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a little saucepan over very low heat and cook a few minutes until it reaches a light hazelnut colour, taking care not to let it burn. Pour the hazelnut butter over the broccoli purée, mix well, adjust the seasoning and serve.
