Preparation
- Step 1
Trim and cut the broccoli into florets. If the stems are large, trim and cut them into large bite-size pieces. There should be about 6 cups.
- Step 2
Put the broccoli pieces in a saucepan with water to cover and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer about 10 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain.
- Step 3
Put the broccoli in a food processor and puree it. Or, preferably, put it in a conical food mill and press it through into a saucepan.
- Step 4
Heat the puree gently while stirring in the butter, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cheese. When piping hot serve immediately.

Try pesto in lieu of nutmeg/parmesan
This came out pretty dry. If I do it again I'll add some stock or cream.
One of my favorite recipes of all time. Great way to get kids to eat broccoli.
I doubled the broccoli added about 3 tbsp heavy cream to help it get going in the food processor. This is absolutely delicious, with an ethereal texture.
