Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Broccoli with Creamy Poppy Seed Sauce.
Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. As the butter sizzles, add the minced onion and let it cook until it turns a lovely golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes. This will infuse your dish with a wonderful aroma!
Step 2
While the onions are cooking, prepare your broccoli. Place the florets in a steamer over an inch of boiling water, cover, and let them steam until they are tender yet still firm, about 6 minutes. Once done, drain the broccoli and set it aside.
Step 3
Once your onions are golden and fragrant, remove the saucepan from the heat. Now, whisk in the sour cream, distilled white vinegar, white sugar, poppy seeds, paprika, and if you like, a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper for a little kick. This creamy sauce is where the magic happens!
Step 4
In a beautiful serving dish, arrange the cooked broccoli florets. Pour the luscious poppy seed sauce generously over the top, ensuring every piece is coated in that creamy goodness. For an extra touch of flavor and crunch, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top before serving. Enjoy this delightful dish as a side or a light main course!
