Floating Broccoli (mf) – We Love God!

The standard of practical holy living has been so low among Christians that very often the person who tries to practice spiritual disciplines in everyday life is looked upon with disapproval by a large portion of the Church. And for the most part, the followers of Jesus Christ are satisfied with a life so conformed to the world, and so like it in almost every respect, that to a casual observer, there is no difference between the Christian and the pagan.

INGREDIENTS

1		large broccoli
4	T	Butter
2	T	Heavy cream
		Salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Trim 3 inches from bottom of broccoli stalks and discard. Separate  the
tiny flower heads from remaining stalks, (you are going to cook  the
stalks and florets separately) making sure you break the florets  into
little pieces. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil with 1  tablespoon of
salt. Drop the broccoli stalks into the boiling water  and cook them
for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well.  Meanwhile, steam
florets over water for 3 to 4 minutes or until  tender but still bright
green; remove them from the heat, and keep  warm off heat until serving
time.  In a food processor puree cooked stalks with butter, cream, salt
and  pepper to taste. Pat the steamed florets dry, fold half of them
into  the broccoli puree and spoon it into a serving bowl. "Float"
remaining steamed florets on top of puree, flower side up.  Yield: 4
