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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the broccoli florets. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
When the broccoli is cooked, remove it from the steamer basket and transfer it to a food processor or blender.
Step 6
Add the sautéed garlic and ghee mixture, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Taste the mash and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the creamy broccoli mash to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy as a side dish with your favorite Whole30-compliant main course.
