Recipe: Bleu Cheese Broccoli

Bleu Broccoli

This one is not for the weak cheese lover! For 6 servings you'll need:

1 1/2 pounds broccoli
1 TB oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups bleu cheese dressing (see recipe below

Some people prefer to use just the buds, but the stems are good and nutritious as well. Make sure you cut the stems up into smaller pieces so that they will finish cooking in the same amount of time as the buds. You can either steam them or boil them in water. Saute the garlic and walnuts in the oil, then add the cooked broccoli. Strain off any excess oil, then add your dressing. Toss well and serve.

To make your own Bleu Cheese Dressing, you need to combine:
1 cup mayonnaise
3 oz. sour cream
4 oz. crumbled bleu cheese
1 tbsp wine vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 dash worchestershire
salt and white pepper to taste
