Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g broccoli florets
- 1 large potato
- 120 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water. Peel and chop the potato into 1-inch cubes.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the potato cubes and cook for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, add the broccoli florets into the same pot and continue to cook until both the potatoes and broccoli are tender, about 10 more minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Once tender, drain the vegetables and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour the sautéed garlic and olive oil over the broccoli and potatoes in the mixing bowl.
Add the almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the mixing bowl.
Using a potato masher or a hand blender, mash the vegetables until reaching the desired creamy consistency. For a smoother finish, blend using the hand blender, adding a little more almond milk if necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice for balance.
Serve warm as a comforting side dish or healthy snack. Enjoy your Vegan Creamy Broccoli Mash!
