Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Start by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold running water.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add a pinch of salt.
Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes until fork-tender.
While the broccoli is cooking, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Once cooked, drain the broccoli and let it sit in the colander for a few minutes to remove excess water.
In a large bowl, add the drained broccoli, unsalted butter, Greek yogurt, chopped garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the broccoli mixture until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice and mash again to incorporate it well into the mash.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the broccoli mash warm, garnished with a sprinkle of black pepper or a small dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
