BROCCOLI-WALNUT PARTY CASSEROLE
Serves 6
1 (16 oz) package frozen chopped broccoli
3 tbsp unbleached flour
2/3 nonfat dry milk
2 cups chicken broth
2 ½ cups dried bread cubes
1 tsp sage
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
½ cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large saucepan, cook broccoli in water until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Place broccoli in an 8-by-8 inch baking dish sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a covered jar, combine flour, dry milk powder, and 1 ¼ cups chicken broth. Shake well to combine. Pour mixture into a medium saucepan sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and starts to boil. Pour hot sauce over broccoli. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, sage, parsley flakes, walnuts, and remaining ¾ cup chicken broth. Mix well to combine. Sprinkle mixture evenly over top of broccoli mixture. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until top is crusty. Place baking dish on a wire rack and let sit 5 minutes. Divide into 6 servings.
