Directions: |
Directions:Make Crème Fraiche: Mix 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup heavy cream in bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours, stirring occasionally. It will thicken. Place in frig for 4 hours.
Trim and chop broccoli (including peeled stems). Drop broccoli in boiling water and cook until just tender - about 8 minutes. Drain.
In food processor, thoroughly puree broccoli and crème fraiche. (it helps to do it in thirds) Use the cup of crème fraiche at least; I always add more to get the best consistency.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Scrape the puree into a bowl and stir in the Parmesan, nutmeg, pepper and salt to taste. Mix well.
Mound puree in an oven proof serving dish. Dot with the butter and bake until hot and steamy - about 25 minutes.
Serve immediately. |
