Double Broccoli Bowl

Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 293kcal

Ingredients

  • 180 g uncooked quinoa
  • For the puree
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • 1 tbsp garlic infused olive oil goo
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 2-2.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • Toppings
  • 1.5 cups lightly steamed broccoli
  • 4 generous sprinkles pumpkin seeds
  • Chopped chives to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook your quinoa, I use 180g uncooked quinoa with circa 480ml water 
  • Once the quinoa is ready, leave it to cool for a few minutes while you work on the puree
  • Wash and cut your broccoli into small florets. Steam the broccoli until it looses its raw edge but is still crisp, I cooked mine for 4 minutes but it'll vary depending on the size of your florets
  • Pulse the sunflower seeds in a blender, add the goo, tamari and lemon juice and blend some more. Add circa 1 cup of the (cooled) steamed broccoli and blend until all smooth
  • Add the puree to the quinoa and mix well. Divide into 4 bowls and cover with the remaining broccoli florets, pumpkin seeds and chives
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*According to Monash university broccoli (heads only) are low in FODMAPs with serving sizes of 1 cup. Large servings (3 or more cups) contain excess fructose and should be avoided during the strict phase of the diet.
Please Note: One serving of my Double Broccoli Bowl is just over half a cup broccoli.
