Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli
  • 1 cup turnip greens if you can't find these, use kohlrabi greens instead
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven at 175°C/347°F.
  • Place the cooked chickpeas on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, add the chilli flakes, sumac, poppy seeds and a pinch of salt, and toss to combine.
  • Roast for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Cut the broccoli in florets, and place in a steamer over a pot with boiling water. Steam for five minutes, then add the turnip (or kohlrabi) greens and simmer for five more minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a cast iron skillet, and fry the onion and garlic for two minutes. Add the coconut milk and vegetable stock and let simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, to release the flavors.
  • Add the steamed veggies in the blender, pour over the coconut liquid, add salt and process to obtain a smooth cream.
  • Serve warm, with spicy roasted chickpeas.
