Broccoli Ready Sauce Preserve,
The broccoli harvest season is approaching, and I have devised a preserve that helps us in hectic moments when we come home tired from work and don’t want to eat processed food.
This vegan and lactose-free ready sauce can be frozen or put in sterilized jars and stored for up to 3 months.
Surprising results from a study found that broccoli contains a molecule capable of turning off an enzyme responsible for the growth of some cancer forms, including breast and prostate cancers.
Just 100 grams, for example, provide a full supply, equal to 150 percent of the amount needed by our body, of vitamin C. There are also important minerals, from zinc to iron, and vitamins B and K.

Broccoli Ready Sauce Preserve,
Tools
what we need
- Pot
- 3 Jars Bormioli
- Immersion Blender
- 2 Dish Towel
Preparation of Broccoli Ready Sauce Preserve
Wash the broccoli and..
Separate the leaves from the florets.
With the leaves, you can proceed as you like, today we will use only the florets.
In a pot, put the water and salt.
When it boils, add the broccoli and let them cook for 15 minutes.
Then drain and transfer into a bowl.
Chop the almonds and add them to the broccoli along with the oil.
If you like, you can also add the chili pepper.
Blend with the immersion blender until you get a smooth cream.
Distribute the broccoli pesto in the previously sterilized jars.
Now put some water in the pot, place a dish towel on the bottom, and place the jars.
Between one jar and another, place the ends of another dish towel so that they don’t bump into each other.
Bring to a boil and boil for 30 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let cool in the same pot.
If instead, you want to simply freeze them, skip this option.
When you need a jar, you can put the pesto directly on the pasta, or enrich it with garlic, oil, and chili pepper or with spreadable cheese.
Finally, you can use it on bruschetta or croutons. I made it with casarecce.
