Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 240 milliliters milk
- 120 grams sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse under cold water.
Step 2
In a large pot, add 2-3 inches of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil.
Step 3
Add the broccoli to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes or until tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Do not let it brown.
Step 6
Slowly pour the milk into the saucepan while whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Step 9
Arrange the steamed broccoli on a serving plate or bowl. Drizzle the sour cream sauce over the broccoli, ensuring even coverage.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
