Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli
- half a teaspoon of fresh ground cumin
- half a teaspoon of fresh ground coriander
- juice of half a medium lemon
- tiny bit of fresh crushed garlic (up to individual taste, really!)
- tiny bit of finely chopped shallots (again up to individual)
- one roughly diced medium tomato
I decided to make this recipe after seeing its name which made me giggle; and it is REALLY delicious. Start by cooking the broccoli ( I just took off the tough outer leaves but used everything else) - I microwaved it for speed, but steaming is - it is done when a knife pierces without resistance (tender) try about 8 mins to start with. Put into a blender or food processor with the lemon juice, cumin, coriander, garlic and shallots and blend until really smooth. I added some water blend briefly so that the tomato is still "chunky". Leave for about 10 mins so that the flavours can mingle and then eat as a dip with crudites or use as a spread on fresh vegan bread or thin it and use it over hot veggies. This is REALLY REALLY good and very healthy too!
