Preparation

Step 1

I like to make my own Asian food, as best I can anyway. I cannot get enough of these. They are so dang good. They also turned out surprisingly well. You can put them in soup or serve as a side. You can even eat them for a snack.

The combination of figs and lemons yield a jam that is both robust and fresh. The addition of rose wine means there is the slightest hint of berry on your tongue, but you could also substitute white wine or water if you do not wish to use wine. I love spreading a thick layer of this jam on a warm, buttered baguette and a strong cup of coffee.

Melt butter in a pot over medium heat, then add the onions. Cook the onions for 3 to 4 minutes, then sprinkle the flour over the top. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute or so, then pour in milk and half-and-half. Add nutmeg, then add broccoli, a small dash of salt, and plenty of black pepper.

Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Stir in cheese and allow to melt.

Taste seasonings and adjust if needed. Then either serve as is, or mash it with a potato masher to break up the broccoli a bit, or transfer to a blender in two batches and puree completely. (If you puree it in a blender, return it to the heat and allow to heat up. Splash in chicken broth if needed for thinning.)
