Fry the chopped scallion in an anti-stick pan with some oil. When it has cooked down, add the broccoli and let them cook for 5 minutes to develop avor, then transfer everything into a container and blend with an immersion blender.

Mix together the egg yolk and the water in a bain-marie bowl, then add the vinegar and the mustard, always stirring with a whisk. Place the bowl over a small pot of boiling water and mount the dressing. Finally, incorporate the butter. Cook the sh: heat a casserole or a pan with plenty of oil and bring it to about 170°C.
