There is a green wave in my kitchen. It is as if I wanted to retain all the green of the season in my dishes. It is now mr. broccolis time to perform, and I will love to see it crunchy and tasty, wrapped in a pastry I adapted for this recipe, with walnuts and a creamy and soft good old bechamel sauce. —bonheurcuisine

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • For the pastry
  • 1 cup plus 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
