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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water. Peel and chop the potato into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the potato cubes and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the vegetables are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
Once tender, drain the vegetables and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Pour the sautéed garlic and olive oil over the broccoli and potatoes in the mixing bowl.
Step 8
Add the almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the mixing bowl.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice for balance.
Step 11
Serve warm as a comforting side dish or healthy snack. Enjoy your Vegan Creamy Broccoli Mash!
