- NOTES : Be sure to drain broccoli well. I press between sheets of paper towel. I also finely chop any big pcs of broccoli, like the stalks.
- Pimento is optional, it makes for nice color. I also substitute green onions finely minced for the chives if I have some in the fridge to use up. When mixing sauce it's easier to use a whip.
