Tat's Broccoli for the Broccoli Haters - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

This is GREAT and has converted many a broccoli hater.

1 head broccolli (279 g) 67 kcals 8.6 g protein 3.1 g carbs 2.2 g fat
50 g light tahini (1/4 cup) 317 kcals 12.5 g protein 5.7 g carbs 29.3 g fat
25 g almonds (20 almonds) 153 kcals 5.3 g protein 1.7 g carbs 14 g fat
10 g of lemon juice (4 tablespoons) 1.9 kcals 0.1 g protein 0.3 g carbs 0.003 g fat

Totals 539 kcals 26.5 g protein 11 g carbs 46 g fat

Steam broccoli short while till bright green (when it turns olive green means you have killed some of the vitamins).

Peel off the outside woody stems (quite easy once steamed, and this is essential to convert the broccolli haters IMHO)

Almonds-I usually buy raw and grill them till golden brown, you can hear some POP and also go by the smell. Chop them up.

Mix tahini (sesame seed butter) and lemon juice. Add water to make slightly runny.

Pour over brocoli and make sure each piece is coated.

Top with chopped almonds.

YUM!

GREAT for low carb days or bulking.

Never thought anyone could make broccoli sound good - nice one Peg.

Any ideas for tarting it up when cutting in.

It is a good one by Tatyana over on her thread in the Competition forum.

I like to mix the broccoli with carrots, yellow squash, mushrooms, onions, cauliflower, garlic pods, and cajun seasoning.

Put veggies in foil, add a bit of water and steam them over the grill.

This would add more vegetables and reduce the calories and still be flavorful.
I'd have to work out the calories.
All are fibrous veggies so they will help burn off calories while eating them.
