Broccoli & Cauliflower w/Lemony, Chive, Mustard Butter
This recipe may just get your kids to actually down their broccoli and cauliflower (husbands too!). Maybe… just maybe… they’ll ask for seconds!!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 tbsp grated lemon peel
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/3 cup, plus 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 1 1/2 lb whole cauliflower, trimmed, cut into florets
2 1/2 lbs broccoli, stems trimmed, cut into florets
Blend butter, lemon peel and mustard in a small bowl. Mix in 1/3 cup chives. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook cauliflower in large pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes. Add broccoli and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes longer. Drain. Transfer veggies to bowl of ice water. Drain. (Butter mixture and veggies can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
Combine butter mixture and veggies in large pot. Toss gently over medium heat until veggies are heated through and coated with butter mixture, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp chives.
