Makes 4 servings
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
3 cups broccoli or romanesco florets
2 Tbsp. sour cream
2 tsp. flour
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1. Bring broth and thyme to a boil over high heat. Add broccoli or romanesco. Return to a boil.
2. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Retain cooking liquid, and remove broccoli; keep warm.
3. Blend sour cream, flour, and mustard. Stir into cooking liquid still in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 2 minutes; cook and stir 1 minute more, but do not boil. (If sauce is too thick, add more broth, 1 Tbsp. at a time)
4. Return broccoli to saucepan with sauce. Stir gently until coated. Serve at once.
