Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing and trimming the broccoli into florets, ensuring that they are of uniform size for even cooking.
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook them for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but still bright green.
Drain the broccoli well and transfer it to a food processor.
Add the unsalted butter to the warm broccoli in the food processor and pulse until the butter has melted and the broccoli begins to break down.
Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
Transfer the broccoli mash to a serving bowl and serve it warm as a low-carb side dish.
