Ingredients
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound ricotta cheese
1/2 cup amber beer (measure without foam), plus a splash for steaming
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for steaming
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Chopped chives, for garnish
Directions
- 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.
