Try this broccoli puree for a different way to enjoy your greens.

Even if you’re not a natural broccoli lover it’s a delicious alternative way to get your fix!

If you want to make an even creamier puree, just add some plant milk of your choice, omit the lemon (optional) and add pine nuts… Heaven.

All you do is lightly steam the broccoli. Pulse the sunflower seeds in a blender. Add your garlic infused olive oil (goo) and tamari and plus some more. Finally add your (cooled) steamed broccoli and blend until smooth. Easy!

This puree is delicious as a pasta sauce served with fresh chillies or mixed with rice/quinoa as it is in my Double Broccoli Bowl

Enjoy!
