Creamy Broccoli With Cashews Recipes

Steps:

• Place the cashews in a blender along with a pinch sea salt. Pour the boiling water on top. Cover and let sit to allow the cashews to soften while you make the soup.
• Combine the broccoli, fennel, celery, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt and 3 cups water in a pot and cover loosely with a lid, leaving a small opening so steam can escape (this helps the soup keep its bright-green color). Bring to a boil over high, then steam vegetables over medium until they are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Purée the cashews and water until completely smooth and frothy (the cashew cream should be the consistency of very loose whipped cream). Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if desired to thin the mixture. Spoon the cashew cream into a bowl.
• Working in batches if necessary, transfer the steamed vegetables and their cooking liquid to the blender and purée on high until completely smooth and frothy. Taste, and add more salt as needed. Divide the soup among bowls and top with cashew cream, celery leaves, dill, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. PLACE BROCCOLI IN A STEAMER BASKET; PLACE IN A LARGE SAUCEPAN OVER 1 INCH OF WATER. BRING TO A BOIL; COVER AND STEAM FOR 3-4 MINUTES OR UNTIL CRISP-TENDER.
• 2. MEANWHILE, IN A SMALL SKILLET, SAUTE ONION IN BUTTER UNTIL TENDER. REMOVE FROM THE HEAT; STIR IN THE SOUR CREAM, HONEY, VINEGAR, SALT AND PAPRIKA.
• 3. TRANSFER BROCCOLI TO A SERVING BOWL. ADD SOUR CREAM MIXTURE AND TOSS TO COAT. SPRINKLE WITH CASHEWS.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine Parmesan cheese, cashews, lemon zest, garlic powder, and pinch of salt, and set aside.
• Place the broccoli on a baking sheet. Drizzle with butter and toss. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Roast in the oven until broccoli begins to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Remove, and toss the broccoli with the cashew mixture. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place the broccoli into a large pot with about 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bring to a boil, and cook for 7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Drain, and arrange broccoli on a serving platter.
• While the broccoli is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Mix in the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Mix in the cashews, and pour the sauce over the broccoli. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Blitz the broccoli stalks in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the florets and pulse again to achieve a rice-like texture.
• Lightly toast the cashews in a wok or frying pan, then tip onto a plate and set aside. Heat the oil in a pan over a high heat and add the ginger, onion, pepper, carrot, garlic and chilli. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins until starting to brown, then put a lid on and cook for another 2 mins.
• Add the broccoli and 3 tbsp water and stir-fry for 3 mins until all the veg is tender. Pour in the tamari, lime juice and zest and coriander, stir well, then pour in the eggs and stir-fry very briefly to just set. Serve with the cashews, extra coriander and extra sliced chilli scattered over, if you like.
