Directions
Directions (to make white bean spread):
Strained white beans (reserve the liquid that comes from our beans so we can use them for a later use)
Putting our ingredients into our food processor or a blender, and just blend everything together
Soak sun-dried tomatoes a little while (you can use hot liquid if you are in a hurry; and if you’re not so much in a rush, you can just use warm liquid)
Chop sun-dried tomatoes nicely, mince them nice and fine
When you scrape out your bean dip from the food processor, you want to fold in those sun-dried tomatoes, and just fold it in gently
Ready to serve
Directions (to make vegetables stock):
Saving the trimmings of your vegetables (you can store them in the freezer)
When you’re ready to make vegetable stock, just pull it out and add some water to it
Boil it, and you have some freshly made vegetable stock
Directions (to make dairy-free cream of broccoli soup):
Getting our pan heated up
instead of using oil we’re going to use vegetable stock (you can also use water as well, but water has no flavor)
Add onions
Add some garlic
Stir it
Adding diced potatoes
Put in garbanzo beans
Add the thyme
Add marjoram (you can substitute with some oregano)
Add celery seed
Add turmeric
Grind a few peppercorns in (give it a couple twists)
Add to this our vegetable stock
Chop up broccoli
Add broccoli (reserve some to add to the soup later as a nice garnish)
Cook about 25–30 minutes
Take it and put it in the food processor or a blender
Blend it up
Pour it right in this bowl
Ready to serve
Directions (to make penne with kale, tomatoes, and olives ):
Put some heat into our pan
Add onions
Add olives
Let this cook for a little while
Add our fire-roasted tomatoes (if you couldn’t find fire-roasted tomatoes, could you just use regular chopped tomatoes)
When you go into the store, you won’t be able to find pitted kalamata olives, but you’ll be able to find them whole. What you want to do to remove the pit, is just simply put it on your cutting board and just smash it with the back side of your knife, and the pit will come out
Chop kalamata and just add that to the sauce
Add kale
Stir this and blend it into the sauce, mix it right in
Cook until it’s tender
