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

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the broccoli and cauliflower florets thoroughly. Cut them into equally sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

While the vegetables are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Drain the cooked broccoli and cauliflower, then return them to the pot.

Step 7

Add the sautéed garlic, unsweetened almond milk, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice to the pot with the vegetables.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Season the mash with salt and black pepper to taste. Blend again briefly to combine.

Step 10

Serve the Dairy-Free Creamy Broccoli Mash warm, topped with an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.
