Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium shallot, fine diced
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 large florets broccoli, rinsed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup bone broth, divided in half
  • 1 teaspoon tapioca flour (or flour of your choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/3 cup full fat unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon gluten free herb breadcrumbs or panko, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
  2. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and shallots together over low heat. Add a pinch of each salt and pepper – cook until the shallots are softened about 1 minute.
  3. Place the cut broccoli in the baking dish or dishes. Add in 1/2 of the bone broth to the broccoli and spoon over 2 tablespoons of the butter and shallots mixture. Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
  4. Add the tapioca flour and dried thyme to the pan with the remaining butter and shallots. Stir to combine and cook until thickened – about 20 seconds on low heat. Whisk in the bone broth, coconut milk, parmesan and Monterey jack cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and turn the heat off.
  5. When the broccoli is tender but still crunchy, remove from the oven. Pour the cheese mixture on top of the broccoli. Return to the oven for 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top. Turn your oven to broil and cook the broccoli until it browns slightly on top – 30 seconds, worked for me.
  7. Serve with fresh Parmesan grated on top.
