Ingredients
- 6 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons unbleached white flour
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- Sea salt, to taste
- 1 cup low fat milk
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- White pepper, to taste
Directions
Steam broccoli until crisp tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in flour, mustard powder and salt to taste. Gradually stir in milk, whisking over med-low heat until thickened. Add cheese, stirring until completely melted. Season to taste with white pepper. Pour over steamed broccoli and serve at once.
Colorful and savory, this gluten-free, dairy-free dish brings an impressive presentation as well as healthful nutrients to the table. Served atop millet, it’s a delicious change from the standard rice accompaniment, and an occasional sweet surprise of currant gives perfect balance to the saltiness of turkey sausage. Works wonderfully with vegetarian sausage too.
