This vibrant vegan starter features tender-crisp broccoli stems paired with an exceptionally smooth white-bean dip. By quickly blanching and refreshing the vegetables, you retain their striking green colour and a satisfying crunch that provides the perfect vehicle for the creamy accompaniment. It is a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy more greens, elevated by the subtle warmth of cumin and a hint of cayenne pepper.
Packed with plant-based protein from the cannellini beans and silken tofu, this heart-healthy snack is an excellent choice for light entertaining or a nutritious afternoon pick-me-up. The dipping sauce is sieved to achieve a professional, velvety finish that feels indulgent while remaining entirely dairy-free. Serve it chilled on a large platter for a fresh, colourful addition to any table.

Ingredients for Broccoli Trees With Creamy White-Bean Dip
900g broccoli, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide spears
1 garlic clove
1 (550g) can white beans such as cannellini, drained and rinsed
180ml silken tofu (180g), drained and gently rinsed
40ml fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoons ground cumin

How to make Broccoli Trees With Creamy White-Bean Dip
Blanch broccoli in a pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt for 5.7L water), uncovered, 2 minutes, then drain in a colander. Immediately plunge colander with broccoli into an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain again. Spread broccoli out on a kitchen towel to dry. (Broccoli will still be crisp.)
With motor of a food processor running, drop garlic through feed tube and process until finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients (except broccoli) and 1/2 teaspoons salt and purée until smooth. Force dip through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Serve broccoli with dip.
