Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 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

Directions:

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!

Serves: 4 – 5 cups

Preparation time: 20 mins
