- 1 lb broccoli
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 lb mushrooms
- 2 oz blue cheese
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Clean the broccoli, peel, and chop the stem into cubes and divide the florets.
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.
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.
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.
Serve with crusty bread, pasta or rice as a main dish or as a side dish.
