US - EU

Instructions

Clean the broccoli, peel, chop the stem into cubes, and divide the florets.
1 lb broccoli/ 450 g
Cook broccoli: Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add the broccoli stem cubes first. After one minute, add the broccoli florets and boil for about 3 minutes; they should not get too soft. Drain and refresh under cold water. Let drain well.
Clean mushrooms: In the meantime, clean the mushrooms by rubbing them well with kitchen paper. Halve the larger ones.
1 lb mushrooms/ 450 g
Cook mushrooms: Heat the oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed/non-stick pan. Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, until golden. Add the broccoli and mix well. Cook, covered, for about 3 minutes, stirring a few times carefully in between.
1 tablespoon olive oil + 1 teaspoon butter
Add cheese: Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and scatter the crumbled cheese on top. Leave to stand for 1 or 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
½ teaspoon fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper + 2 oz blue cheese
Serve with crusty bread, pasta or rice as a main dish or as a side dish.

Notes

Blue cheese: Most sorts are vegetarian, meaning that they are made without animal rennet. However, it is always best to check the label if you are a vegetarian. Gorgonzola is not vegetarian, as it is a DOC listed (controlled designation of origin ). It has to be made with animal rennet; otherwise, it cannot be called Gorgonzola. Some Roquefort sorts are not vegetarian, either.
