Broccoli and Potato Flan is a healthy and tasty second course. Perfect as a vegetarian main course or as a side dish for other main courses.
I don’t like broccoli so much. It is just a type of vegetable that I avoid as much as possible, but I know that they are good and healthy so every now and then I try to include them in our daily menu. But the broccoli and potato flan, on the other hand, also satisfies the palate of those who, like me, do not like this vegetable very much.
Cooked in this way it is really tasty: seeing is believing !!! Even my sons liked it.
The recipe is for 2 large portions. If you want to increase the dose, double the ingredients.
