1 head broccoli, chunked
2-6 large cloves of garlic, crushed. start with 2 and go by taste!
1/2-1 small onion, chunked
1/4 Cup sharp cheddar, cubed
1/3 Cup olive oil
1 Cup mead, you deside
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. butter
1 1/2 t. salt
pepper to taste.

In a 4 quart sauce pan with steamer, steam broccoli until tender, do not over cook. Saute onion in butter until clear. Put all ingredient except garlic and cheese in blender, puree. Add 2 cloves garlic and puree to blend and taste, add garlic 1 clove at a time after that stopping when it's strong enough for you taste.

Pour into a 3-4 quart saucier and gently heat, this will tame the raw garlic flavor, when the sauce is hot add the cheese, stir constantly until cheese has been melted and blended in. Remove from heat, Serves 6.

Use hot as a sauce for pasta, baked potatoes or omelets. Chilled or hot as a dip for bread, chips or raw vegetables.

By boiling (be sure to drain) or roasting the onion and omitting the cheese, this can be made a vegan sauce or dip.

For a thinner sauce add more mead for a consistency of your liking.

Bon appetit,

Anthony
 
Aw man...do you know how cruel it is to make a woman who's just had gum surgery drool? I hurt, but that sounds damn tasty!
 
That largely depends on ones point of view ;), it should help with healing.

I wish you a hasty recovery,

Anthony
 
Anthony, this recipe sounds good. I get a delivery of vegetables from the local CSA every week, and they have been sending so much broccoli, nobody in the house wants to eat it anymore. This might be a way to make broccoli acceptable again - spooned over pasta. Thanks!

Hello Miriam,

I hope it works out for you.

I made soup today with what was left from last nigh by adding cream, basil and chives.

Oh that's too funny, I'm going to leave that. I have a Dvorak Keyboard and my OS decided to switch back to Qwerty.

Translated - I'm going to have to try that.

That is Funny.

For years I've thought it would be a great joke to remap someone keyboard toDvorak from Querty.

Man, I really want to switch to dvorak. I tried last year but in order for this to work for me I need to have it both at home AND work. When I switched it at work, luck would have it, that IT needed to use my computer for something so they started away and had all sorts of issues. I switched it back to qwerty for them and they did their thing. When I come in the next day they have it switched back to qwerty and locked me out of being able to change it. Grrrrr.
