2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large shallots, sliced (1 cup)
1 bunch broccoli
3 tablespoons butter
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream, warmed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add
shallots; cook, stirring frequently, about 12 minutes, until
golden and crisp. Reduce heat halfway through cooking
time. Transfer to paper towels to absorb excess oil. Set
aside.
2. In the same pot over high heat, bring 4 cups of lightly
salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook 7 minutes,
until tender. Drain broccoli. In the same large pot over
high heat, add butter and garlic. Cook, stirring
constantly, about 3 minutes, until butter is just browned
and fragrant. Remove from heat.
3. Place broccoli and browned butter in food processor
fitted with a steel blade. With the processor running,
pure broccoli, slowly adding cream. Process until very
smooth.
4. Transfer to a serving bowl; stir in salt and pepper.
Sprinkle with shallots.
This sophisticated yet simple dish can be made two days ahead
and reheated, making it perfect for any multi-course holiday
meal.
