vegetable casserole

Ingredients:

1 large broccoli, cut into florets
Olive oil
A handful of baby kale
1 small onion, diced
7 small cloves of garlic, minced
12 small tomatoes (cherry or grape tomatoes preferred), halved
A knob of butter
Salt, to taste
1 tsp thyme
150 ml cream
1 tbsp flour
Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Method:

Prepare the Broccoli:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.
Place the florets in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until it releases its aroma.
Add Tomatoes and Kale:
Add the halved tomatoes and baby kale to the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and the kale wilts slightly.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet and add the knob of butter to the center.
Once melted, sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir to form a roux.
