Broccoli and Spinach Gratin (Vegetarian)

It may be Spring, but this Easter Monday is rather chill; this Broccoli and Spinach Gratin is a good -and I mean tasty!- way to warm up!

Ingredients (serves 4):

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

12 ounces fresh broccoli, fleurets cut from the stalk

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

1 large garlic clove, halved

3 cups goat’s milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1 1/4 cup freshly grated Cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons cream cheese

2 small scallions, chopped

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (leaves and stalks)

4 cups baby spinach, rinsed

Stir baking soda into a large pot of salted boiling water, and add broccoli. Cook, 7 minutes until just tender, and drain immediately. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400°. Butter a baking dish generously and rub all over with halved garlic clove; set aside.

Heat goat’s milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. 

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large, deep, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in flour, and cook out 1 minute, to make a roux. Gradually whisk in warm goat’s milk until completely smooth and combined. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture thickens. Season wiith sea salt flakes, white pepper and nutmeg, and stir in 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Once Cheddar is melted and sauce is smooth, mince garlic clove and gently fold in along with scallions, basil, broccoli and spinach, giving a good but gentle stir, to combine well. 

Spoon into prepared baking dish, sprinkle evenly with remaining Cheddar, and bake gratin at 400°, for 30 to 35 minutes, until bubbling and top is golden brown.

Serve Broccoli and Spinach Gratin hot.

Sesame Chicken and Broccoli with Garlic Basmati Rice

Sesame Chicken and Broccoli with Garlic Basmati Rice

I’m so excited about this recipe because it’s a recipe for working peeps!  I grilled it, but it can also easily convert to a stir fry – in a wok or, of course, a cast iron skillet.  Make the marinade and put the chicken in the marinade before work, then everything will be ready to roll at 4:30 pm, when I walk back in the door.

Lunch table envy will soar when leftovers from this dish are recycled…
