Broccoli with sour cream

Creamy sour cream broccoli is a simple and comforting recipe that has gained popularity in several Latin American countries. Originating from home cooking, this dish combines the crunchy texture of broccoli with the smoothness and slightly tangy flavor of sour cream, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. In different regions of Latin America, this preparation may vary in name or ingredients, but it is generally known as "gratin broccoli" or simply "broccoli with cream." In countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Chile, it is common to find similar versions that incorporate grated cheese and breadcrumbs to give it a crunchy and golden touch. This recipe also has roots that trace back to the influence of European cuisine, especially Italian and French, where the use of creams and cheeses on vegetables is very common.

In New Zealand, it is also a valued preparation, showing how this simple recipe managed to transcend borders and adapt to different palates around the world. Creamy sour cream broccoli stands out for being a nutritious option, rich in fiber and vitamins, and at the same time delicious and easy to prepare for any occasion.

How to prepare Broccoli with Sour Cream

To prepare this delicious dish, we start by cutting the thickest stems off the broccoli. This will help the cooking be uniform and quick.

Use a flat microwave-safe plate where you will place the broccoli with the stems facing outwards, in an orderly arrangement.

Cover the plate and cook on high power for 8 to 12 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.

Once cooked, drain any excess water to prevent the sour cream from becoming watery.

Pour the sour cream over the broccoli evenly, making sure to cover all parts well.

Sprinkle with black pepper to taste and then add the dry brown breadcrumbs for texture.

Cover everything with savory cheese, which will melt and provide an intense and creamy flavor.

Cook uncovered on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or place the plate under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbly and golden.
