Creamy broccoli & cauliflower (steamed, then dressed)

My favourite side. Steamed hard so they keep their bite, folded through a quick cream, mustard and parmesan sauce.

Creamy broccoli & cauliflower (steamed, then dressed)

Steam, don't boil. And season the cream properly — nutmeg is not optional.

Method

  1. 01

    Steam the cauliflower for 4 minutes. Add the broccoli and steam another 3 minutes, until both are just tender with a bite. Tip into a warm serving bowl.

  2. 02

    In a small pan, warm the cream with the garlic, Dijon and a good grating of nutmeg over medium heat until it just bubbles at the edges. Simmer 2 minutes to thicken slightly.

  3. 03

    Off the heat, whisk in the parmesan until glossy. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon.

  4. 04

    Pour over the vegetables and turn gently to coat. Finish with more parmesan and cracked pepper.
