Packing a powerful calcium and taste punch, this recipe makes a delicious dish of marinaded broccoli smothered in a creamy and cheesy sauce. This is my version of Julie Morris's awesome broccoli cheese bowl recipe (http://www.juliemorris.net/).
Ingredients:
The broccoli
1 head of broccoli, washed and chopped
olive oil
lemon
juice
salt
the cheesy tahini sauce
1/3c tahini
1 tsp soya/tamari sauce
1/4 tsp
sea salt
1/4 tsp paprika (I used a sweet paprika that my sister-in-law brought us from hungary, but I bet a smoked one, though not raw, would be a-maz-ing!)
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp nutritional
yeast
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp water
Preparation:
The broccoli
Rub the
broccoli florets with a bit of olive oil, lemon juice and salt like marinade. This will help to soften the broccoli a bit, making the eating and digesting of it that much more pleasant. Put the broccoli aside to sit in the marinade for at least 1 hour. I often wait till I'm hungry to make food, so the last time I made this it sat for only 45 min, and was quite perfect. It was the first time I had
eaten raw broccoli in such a large quantity so I was a bit nervous as to how it would go. Had no problems (luckily as I went out afterward). If, however, you're not used to eating raw I would start with this as a side dish.
the cheesy tahini sauce
Blend everything together or whisk it together in a bowl. Pour over your marinated broccoli, mix well and enjoy!

1. if your tahini is roasted, it
if your tahini is roasted, it will taste like peanut butter. raw tahini doesnt taste like peanut butter at all. also, i think this recipie is better if you but the broccoli in a food proccessor and break it down to "rice" size, making it more like a broccoli risotto. just saying.
2. I used the cashews as well
I used the cashews as well and had to add garlic (because I just love garlic). Also, a bit more nutritional yeast for the more cheesy flavor and it was a great hit! Pretty tasty!!
3. @ eloisa: try substituting
@ eloisa: try substituting half (or more) of the tahini with soaked cashews instead. You can also add a handful of grape tomatoes or half a red pepper. Both taste fantastic and add a nice cheesy orange tint to the sauce
ps. glad I saw your comment...I took my own suggestion the first time I made it because I don't like stuff to taste too much like tahini or peanutty. I think next time I will use only half a table spoon-ish of tahini and the rest cashews
4. I made this tonight but it
I made this tonight but it didn't taste like cheese :( more like peanut butter :/ but then I put more nama to make like a peanut sauce. I dumped tons of nutri yeast also but still no cheesiness.
5. mmm tried this for breakfast
mmm tried this for breakfast today so good with red peppers too
