Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 200 grams, diced vegan ham
- 4 medium, thinly sliced potatoes
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and diced vegan ham to the skillet and sauté for another 3 minutes, until the vegan ham is slightly browned.
Prepare the cheese sauce by combining the nutritional yeast, unsweetened almond milk, tapioca flour, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced potatoes and broccoli florets. Add the sautéed onion, garlic, and vegan ham mixture.
Pour the cheese sauce over the potato and broccoli mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
