INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 pound bunch of broccoli 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter plus 1 tablespoon salt, freshly ground pepper
Oil 3/4 pound chorizo or other spiced smoked pork sausage 4 cups raw corn kernels



1 Rinse the broccoli in cold water and cut off and discard the tough stems. Chop the broccoli. In a saucepan heat the 4 tablespoons butter, add the broccoli, stir, and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water, cover, and cook until the vegetable is tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Put in a serving dish and keep warm.
2 Fill the bottom of a skillet with oil and saute the chorizos until browned all over, about 5 minutes. They will cook in their own fat. Drain on paper towels and slice, or halve crosswise. Arrange the sausage around the broccoli and keep warm.
3 Puree the corn in a blender or food processor. In a saucepan melt the tablespoon of butter, add the corn, and cook stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes over low heat. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the corn puree over the broccoli.
