Ingredients

• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 medium Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh)
• 1 small Green chili (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 2

Blanch the broccoli florets by cooking them in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender but still vibrant green.

Step 3

Drain the broccoli and transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Step 4

In a food processor, combine the blanched broccoli, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, cilantro, green chili (if using), salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve the desired creamy consistency.

Step 6

Taste the broccomole and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.

Step 7

Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.

Step 8

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
