There are other similar recipes for this lemony broccoli dish, but this is enough different that I thought I'd go ahead and post it. It states that it would also be good over cauliflower. Update: Finally got around to making this and felt it is very good with a nice punch of lemon. I did steam the broccoli instead of boiling and the sauce was so easy. Ingredients:
3 lbs broccoli spears, fresh |
1 cup chicken broth |
1 tablespoon butter |
4 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup cold water |
2 egg yolks, beaten |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons lemon peel, grated |
Directions:
1. Place broccoli in a large saucepan; add 1 inch of water.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 5-8 minutes or until crisp-tender.
4. Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan, heat broth and butter until butter is melted.
5. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth;.
6. Stir into broth mixture.
7. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
8. Remove from the heat.
9. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly.
10. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
11. Remove from heat.
12. Gently stir in lemon juice and peel.
13. Drain broccoli; serve with sauce.
