Ginger Shallot Broccoli

• 1 large head of broccoli
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon 1 tsp of juice squeezed from freshly grated ginger root
• 2 teaspoons corn starch
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallots
• 1 pinch coarse sea salt, more to taste
• freshly ground pepper

1. Trim broccoli into long thin spears; steam until crisp tender.
2. While the broccoli is steaming,whisk together chicken stock, ginger juice, and corn starch; season with salt and pepper; set aside.
3. Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat; add shallots and cook until tender; stir in chicken stock mixture and simmer until the sauce just thickens enough to be suitably clingy to the steamed broccoli.
4. Toss broccoli with the sauce, being sure to include as much of the shallot bits as possible (you may have some sauce left over); transfer to your favorite bowl or platter.
