Sprouting broccoli with hollandaise
(Spargelkapsavõrsed hollandi kastmega)
Serves 4
500 grams of sprouting broccoli, trimmed
salt, water
For the hollandaise sauce:
2 egg yolks
1 Tbsp smooth Dijon mustard
half a juiced lemon
125 grams butter, melted & slightly cooled
salt & black pepper
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the trimmed broccoli and boil for 4-5 minutes, until broccoli is al dente.
While sprouting broccoli are boiling, make the hollandaise. Whisk the egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice together until combined and doubled in volume. Gradually pour in the melted butter, whisking all the time. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Arrange the drained sprouting broccoli on warm plates and pour over the sauce (and anchovies, if you're into that kind of thing:)
And Happy Easter to everyone! I'll be posting about Estonian Easter dessert, pasha, later this week!

Hehe, everybody from the East(ish) seems to be blogging about pasha. Yours truly too :o) My secret weapon is Anna's kulitsa recipe, which is unbeatable. Truly. Wait and see :)
Happy Easter to you as well!
Oh yums! I think I may have to make that! Drool.
I love broccoli, also.
I have to find a recipe for poppy seed dressing to put on my broccoli.
I have never made holandaise sauce.Perhaps it's time I give it a go.
Happy Easter to you!!
I love broccoli but I've never tried the sprouting broccoli and never seen it in the shops here in Switzerland.
If I come across it in the shops I will definately give your recipe a try!
Jõudsin just näljasena oma ühe riigiga piirduvalt ümbermaailmareisilt tagasi.. ja mida ma näen.
Veelkord tõestatud, et tühja kõhuga ei tohi su blogi lugeda :D
Kust ma need spargelkapsavõrsed nüüd välja võlun!?
Antti - I beat you to blogging about pasha:) But very much looking forward to reading about your sinful kulitsa recipe - you naughty boy!
Bea - thank you!
Stephanie - I thought it was a really nice dish for very little effort. Like most of my dishes:)
Pene - poppy seed dressing? Vau! Would be interesting to hear about it. My friend has made a goats' cheese salad with raspberry-poppy seed dressing, but not sure if it'd go with (sprouting) broccoli..
Valentina - I must admit that it was my first time as well. I liked it, and it didn't curdle or do anything else scary..
Pamela - it's like broccoli, just with long slender stems and smaller heads. Looks more elegant, although the taste is pretty much the same:)
Oh, Thredahlia - häda korral ajavad tavalised spargelkapsaõisikud ka asja ära, kuigi ei ole nii spargellikult elegantsed:)
Tegin sparglist ja spargelkapsast - meeletult maitsev, ideaalne kombinatsioon. Kindlasti teen kunagi veel. Köögiviljad aurutasin keetmise asemel.
Tore kuulda! Ja aurutamine on ka hea mõte.
Kas Sa panid sparglid ja spargelkapsad sedasi kenasti taldrikule, et said spargelkapsavõrsed? ;-)
no peaaegu :D, leidlikkust peab olema
