Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large head of broccoli (chopped into small florets)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
