Equipment

Steamer basket or microwave-safe bowl with lid
Skillet
Food processor

Ingredients

1 pound fresh broccoli florets approximately 450g
¼ cup heavy cream 60ml
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 22g
3 tablespoons unsalted butter 42g
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt 2g
¼ teaspoon black pepper 1g
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg optional, 0.5g

Instructions

Begin by steaming the broccoli florets until they are very tender, about 7-8 minutes. You can use a steamer basket over boiling water or a microwave with a bit of water in the bottom of the bowl.
While the broccoli is steaming, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the broccoli is done, transfer it to a food processor. Add the sautéed garlic and butter, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother mash, process for longer. For a chunkier texture, pulse fewer times.
Taste the broccoli mash and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, omit the Parmesan and substitute the butter and cream with coconut oil and coconut cream respectively.

If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, feel free to add an extra clove or two.

This dish is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
