Ingredients (4 people)
- 400 gr broccoli
- 120 gr courgettes
- 50 gr spring onions
- 70 gr leeks
- 1 clove garlic
- 100 ml white wine
- 200 ml almond milk
- 2 gr ground cumin
- 1 gr thyme
- 5 gr parsley
- 1 gr black pepper
- 40 gr extra virgin olive oil
- 80 gr pumpkin seeds
- Water
- Salt
Preparation
- Prepare the broccoli sprouts. We’d advise you to keep the stalks because with them you can make a good stock.
- Wash all the vegetables well.
- Now you have to cut the courgette up into pieces and chop the spring onions, the leeks and the clove of garlic.
- Heat two spoonfuls of extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan and poach the onions and garlic for between three and four minutes.
- Add the leeks and cook for a few more minutes until they become transparent.
- Add the courgette and stir everything together.
- After five minutes, add the broccoli, salt and pepper and season with cumin and thyme to your liking.
- Add the wine, allow all the alcohol to evaporate and cover with water or if not the stock.
- Bring to the boil.
- When it’s boiling, cover the pan and leave to cook on a medium heat until you notice that the vegetables are tender.
- Use a blender to produce a smooth creamy texture.
- We haven’t finished. It’s now time to add enough almond milk to obtain the texture you want and then the pumpkin seeds.
- When it’s time to serve, we’d recommend you to add a little extra milk to each bowl and decorate with some fresh parlsey.
