A yummy "pesto" that's great on its own, on pasta or as a dip.
Ingredients
Directions
- Defrost broccoli.
- Heat olive oil in skillet. Add garlic and cook over medium heat until golden brown.
- Add chilies or pepper flakes and broccoli. Sauté for several minutes until broccoli is very soft.
- Break up broccoli chunks and add water as needed. Salt to taste.
- When done, the pesto should be a rough puree.
- Note: this "pesto" is just as yummy as our favorite fatty version, but less calories and more veggie bang for your buck!
