For the Broccoli Kale Mole Verde: (makes more than required for 8 servings) Ingredients • 1 organic onion

For the Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli: Ingredients

• 1 organic potato (Yukon gold) • 1 bunch organic Italian kale • 2 cloves organic garlic, chopped • 2 poblano peppers, stems and seeds removed • 1 large head organic broccoli, cut into small florets with stem included • 1 bunch organic parsley chopped • 1 cup sunflower seeds • 1 tablespoon salt • 1 teaspoon pepper • 2 quarts vegetable broth/stock Step 1 In a medium-sized pot, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom, add in chopped onions, chopped kale, and chopped garlic. Cook until onions are translucent. Step 2 Dice potatoes into a ½ inch size for them to cook evenly, add your potatoes to the pot and continue to cook on medium heat for 4 minutes. Add 2 quarts of vegetable broth and bring mixture to a boil. Step 3 Once pot has come to a boil, add in the sunflower seeds, and cook mixture until the potatoes start to get tender. Once the potatoes are tender, add in your broccoli florets and cook for another 3 minutes. Step 4 Turn off the heat and add in parsley, salt, and pepper; it’s optional to season the mixture with some vinegar, if you would like some added acidity. This sauce also welcomes any dried spices or seasoning you would like to add. Step 5 It is always safest to let the mixture cool down just a little bit before blending, but once cooled, transfer to blender in batches and blend until smooth. Taste final product and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Step 6 This sauce can be served both warm or cold depending on preference and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for a month.
