I really loved this dish. It is what I would term 'comfort food'. Due to my personal preference, I omitted the celery and added more avocado. The broccoli adds a lovely dimension to this dish. I thought the amount of cream called for would be a little too rich so I substituted 1/2 cup of the cream with whole milk - the result was pleasantly creamy enough. The sauce also looked too thin to me so I added some cornflour paste at the end to thicken. Next time I will use 3 Tbsp of flour instead of 2 - as there will definitely be a next time!! Lovely - thank you!
