A Tasty Mushy Veg Recipe
I love guacamole, but it's so high in calories & fat (though it's the good kind of fat) that I hardly ever eat it. Adding broccoli reduces the calories & fat, but still has the flavor and texture of guacamole.
BROCAMOLE
1 ripe avocado, peeled & pitted
1 bunch broccoli, cut into crowns
2 tbl red onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbl lime juice
2 tbl fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch salt
1+ tsp hot sauce or to taste
Steam the broccoli until tender. Put in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients and process until smooth.
