Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 120 grams Sour cream
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Wasabi paste
- 1 whole Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Blanch the broccoli florets by boiling them for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender but still crisp. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Drain the broccoli thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the blanched broccoli, sour cream, cream cheese, wasabi paste, garlic clove, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning, adding more wasabi for extra heat or more salt and pepper as desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve cold with fresh vegetable sticks, crackers, or toasted bread.
