Broccoli with Nuts
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. I liked this unusual way of preparing broccoli right away: you get a fairly thick but light paste. Besides, broccoli tastes even better this way—the nuts add an original flavor note, and garlic adds a touch of piquancy. To make broccoli with nuts, you can use either fresh or frozen broccoli.

Step 1
Wash the broccoli, break it into florets, and boil it, but do not overcook it: you do not want the broccoli to fall apart. Toast the nuts in a dry hot skillet or warm them in the oven. Then add the broccoli, nuts, a peeled and chopped clove of garlic, and Parmesan to a blender.
