Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound ricotta cheese
1/2 cup amber beer (measure without foam), plus a splash for steaming
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for steaming
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot with a steamer insert, bring salted water and a splash of beer to a boil. Steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.
