Gribiche Inspired Broccoli Dish

Sauce gribiche is a mayonnaise-style cold egg sauce mainly used in French dishes...fancy I know! It is easily made by mushing hard-boiled egg yolks and mustard with a canola or grapeseed oil. The sauce is finished with chopped onions, capers, parsley, and tarragon. It also includes hard-boiled egg whites chopped up in the dish.

Knowing I only had bits and pieces of the ingredients listed I above I decided to make my own inspired gribiche dish. This recipe works great at any time of the day and as a side or main dish. 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup fresh broccoli; cut into bite size pieces
• 2 hard boiled eggs; diced into cubes or you can later cut it with your utensil.
• 1/2 cup of chives
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 strips bacon; chopped (use kidney beans if you are vegetarian)
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 2 tbsp red onion; chopped
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp dijon mustard

Directions:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet till hot. 
• Throw in bacon first and let it cook for a couple minutes. Then put in onion and broccoli. Cook until bacon browns and broccoli is tender but still firm...I cooked everything together for about 5 minutes. 
• While bacon, onions, and broccoli cook, chop up chives and cilantro and put into mixing bowl. After everything is done cooking mix fresh and warm ingredients with 1/2 tsp dijon mustard.
• Serve with fork or spoon. 

Bon appetit!
