"Broccomole"
Make this:
http://pinterest.com/pin/559290847443917223/
Seriously, make it right now.
One serving (half the recipe) is the size of my head (ok, not quite - but somewhere around 1.5-2 cups I think - 200g, anyways) and 135 calories, 7g of fat and SO FREAKING DELICIOUS.
Also, re: mandatory accompanying tortilla chips.
I did some comparison shopping yesterday, and found that if you go for the "traditional" style of chips rather than the ones made by T-stidos or the like, you get twice as much chip (g) for half the cals/fat and arguably better flavor. You will WANT larger portions of chips so you can eat the entire bowl of broccomole in one sitting, like I just did *burp*

I was too.
Don't be.
My partner was also skeptical, I think.
We both licked our bowls.0 -
My first reaction is to start kicking *kitten* and taking names for someone to think of messing with gaucamole...but then, the other half is intrigued enough to want to try it!!0

:laugh: It's NOT guac. Nothing could ever replace the real deal. This is something different, but in the same spirit. Also, you can eat ridiculous quantities of it, which is always a win in my book.0 -
On my list to try! Sounds delish!!!!! Thanks!1

Here you go!
Ingredients
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 jalapeno, chopped, seeds removed
2 tbs green onions
1 tsp olive oil
2 ounces fat free cream cheese (or silken tofu, goat cheese, sour cream, cashew cream, something creamy)
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 tbs cilantro
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

2. Drain broccoli very well.
3. Transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth, add additional olive oil for a smoother texture.
4. Serve warm
I used light cream cheese, not no-fat, and added a touch of cumin, but otherwise followed the recipe to a T.0 -

Woa .. i want this. Do you think you could use home-made mayo for the 'something creamy'? I don't have any of those other creamy things!0

I don't see why not! It might change the flavor a bit and you'd need to recalculate the cals, but that would be the case with anything else. Enjoy!0 -
Mind=blown! So going to try this!!0
-
yay! thanks so much for posting the recipe! I think I might make my family broccomole burgers for dinner tonight. we love broccoli!0

It took me a long time to click open this post because it just sounded so wrong. Now I'm glad I did! :happy:0

I have found that the best substitute for sour cream is fat free Greek yogurt. Tastes almost identical, no fat and lots of protein!0

Sounds delicious!0
