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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the broccoli into small florets, ensuring they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 3
Fill a large pot with water and place a steamer basket inside. Ensure the water level is below the basket.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once the broccoli is cooked, remove it from the steamer and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the steamed broccoli into a large mixing bowl or a food processor.
Step 8
Add the sautéed garlic, coconut milk, sea salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast to the broccoli.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 11
Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite Paleo main course.
