Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup coconut milk (full fat)
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the broccoli florets. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Fill a large pot with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, place a steamer basket inside the pot and add the broccoli florets.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the broccoli for about 7-10 minutes or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the broccoli is steaming, in a small saucepan, melt the ghee over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
When the broccoli is cooked, remove it from the steamer basket and transfer it to a food processor or blender.
Add the sautéed garlic and ghee mixture, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste the mash and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Transfer the creamy broccoli mash to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy as a side dish with your favorite Whole30-compliant main course.
