Broccoli is a powerhouse vegetable. There is a reason body-builders eat it.
High in iron, potassium and magnesium it also contains antioxidants such as Vitamin C. This helps with overall skin health and appearance. It is rich in Vitamin K which helps with Calcium absorption and bone health. Studies have shown that while boiling or lightly steaming can reduce the amount of Vitamin C, it makes other properties more readily available or absorbed. It is easier digested cooked rather than raw.
Salad 1
1 head of steamed broccoli
1/4 cup dried cranberries - beware some brands have added sugar and oil! GoodFor is a great option.
1/2 cup almonds chopped
3 Tbsp tahini - I like this brand
2 Tbsp water
1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Chop broccoli into small pieces. Place into a saucepan & add water 2cm from bottom. Once boiling, boil for 5 mins or until lightly soft. Drain & season with salt.
Add cranberries and almonds. Mix tahini, vinegar and water together. Pour over broccoli and mix.
Salad 2
1 head of steamed broccoli
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup Sunflower seeds
Olive oil drizzled
Rock salt for seasoning
Repeat cooking process for broccoli as above.
Once drained drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and yeast flakes. Add sunflower seeds and serve.
Salad 3
1 head of steamed broccoli
Tempeh
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
Olive or Coconut oil
2 Tbsp Soy sauce or Tamari sauce
2 Tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
Rock salt for seasoning
Mix soy/tamari sauce and chilli sauce together. Chop tempeh into cubes, place in sauce mixture and let soak.
Fry in a well oiled fry pan - about 2 minutes a side then flip. I love my cast iron pan for this! It never sticks, heats evenly and has a number of other benefits. I got mine on sale from briscoes for 40 dollars!
Cook broccoli as above. Drain and put aside.
Once Tempeh is nicely browned remove from heat. Re oil the pan. Pour left over sauce into fry pan and add pumpkin seeds. Toast on low heat for 2-4 minutes.
Remove and mix broccoli, tempeh and pumpkin seeds together. Drizzle more soy/tamari sauce over salad if desired.
