STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH RICOTTA, BEER AND CHIVE SAUCE

Category: Broccoli

1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tsp minced garlic
1 lb ricotta cheese
1/2 cup amber beer (measure without foam), plus a splash for steaming
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp salt, plus more for steaming
1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper
Chopped chives, for garnish

In a large pot with a steamer insert, bring salted water and a splash of beer to a boil. Steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and cook onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in ricotta cheese, beer, and sour cream until smooth and heated through. Add salt and white pepper. Spoon the sauce over steamed broccoli. Garnish with chives and serve. Serves 4
