Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g broccoli florets
- 300 g cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 150 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing the broccoli and cauliflower florets thoroughly. Cut them into equally sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
While the vegetables are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Drain the cooked broccoli and cauliflower, then return them to the pot.
Add the sautéed garlic, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice to the pot with the vegetables.
Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender, but be careful of the hot contents.
Season the mash with salt and black pepper to taste. Blend again briefly to combine.
Serve the Dairy-Free Creamy Broccoli Mash warm, topped with an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.
