Hello everyone. Always enjoy reading this great
newsletter and trying such wonderful recipes. I have been going through several
boxes of collected recipes going back over fifty years. Many are in my mother's
and my aunt's handwriting. I am pushing 70, so these go back many years and are
precious to me. Makes me want to remind everyone to pass on your recipes to the
younger folks and write them out in your own handwriting, if possible.
Here is one of my mother's recipes. I thought of our family member who wanted a
no cheese sauce for cauliflower. It could easily replace the broccoli in this
recipe.
Holiday Broccoli
1 1/2 to 2 lbs broccoli
1 can cr. of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Juice of one lemon
1/2 cup bread or cracker crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. curry powder
2 tblsp. melted butter
Cut broccoli into pieces with 1/4 inch stem on flowerets. Cook in salted water
until tender crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Blend together soup, mayo, and curry
powder. In 1 1/2 qt. casserole put cooked broccoli--squeeze lemon juice over
top. Cover with soup mixture. Top with crumbs (I use more than called for) and
dribble with melted butter (I use more here also). Bake at 350 degrees for 20
minutes or until bubbly.
