Broccoli Soup

By Za, 

For those of you who wonder about the kinds of food that are high in vitamin C, contain multiple nutrients which are effectively a strong preventive from cancer, regulate blood pressure thanks to the high amount of calcium, magnesium and vitamin K - which helps keep the bones healthy and prevent from osteoporosis-. 
This preventive food is also good against gastric problems and bacterium, such as the H.Pylori; heart disease and  Anemia. 
This natural source of vitamin A, Beta carotene, fibers,  Antioxidants and zinc is extremely beneficial for eyesight, skin, digestive problems (prevents constipation) and regulating blood sugar. 


This soup is easy peasy, here we go: 

Ingredients 

• 3 medium potatoes 
• 1 medium onion 
• A head of broccoli
• 1 glass of milk. 
• Water
• Parsley
• Salt
• Cheese (hard cheese of your liking. I went for red cheese this time) 

Method: 


Peel and dice the potatoes, and the onion, before you bring them to a boil. (salt) 
Cut the broccoli florets and steam them for like 3 to 5 mins. 


Once everything is cooked, blend your veggies and add milk bit by bit until you get a thick mixture. Add water thoroughly, little by little, until you get the lump-less consistency you like. I like my soup to be thick and 'velouté'. 
Chop parsley ( a small bunch) and add it to the soup. (salt) 
Dice the cheese (or grate it if you prefer)  

Serving: 


This soup goes very well with toasted bread or garlic bread. 

Toasted bread shredded
and mixed in soup

Ajeejaat Broccoli

By Za, 

This Algerian recipe is originally made of cauliflower. I didn't have any, so I used broccoli instead.  It turned out just fine. The small broccoli florets, in a crown, make great companions for soup and broth. (yumm)

The ingredients I used were the following: 


A broccoli crown (washed, florets cut and steamed for 5 mins)
1 or 2 egg yolks 
2 tbsp of milk 
1 tbsp of finely chopped parsley 
2 to 3 tbsp of flour. 
A pinch of alt

(you can also add 1 tbsp of lemon juice-optional)

The method: 


Steam the little broccoli florets for like 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, make your dipping sauce by putting all the ingredients, mentioned above, in a bowl and mix. 
Once cooked, dip the broccoli florets in the ready eggs sauce then stir fry them for 3 - 4 mins until golden brown. 
Drain them from oil. and serve them warm with some lemon or vinaigrette. (that's if you didn't put any lemon previously)
