Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
Begin by cutting the broccoli into small florets, ensuring they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Fill a large pot with water and place a steamer basket inside. Ensure the water level is below the basket.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 7-10 minutes or until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the broccoli is cooked, remove it from the steamer and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Transfer the steamed broccoli into a large mixing bowl or a food processor.
Add the sautéed garlic, coconut milk, sea salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast to the broccoli.
Using an immersion blender or the food processor, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the mash is too thick, add a little more coconut milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite Paleo main course.
