Description

This Mexican Medley is a refreshing and hearty dish that transforms simple ingredients into a flavorful meal. The base consists of tender steamed asparagus and cauliflower, paired with crisp celery for texture. The star of the dish is the rich, savory sauce made from blended kidney beans, chopped filberts (hazelnuts), and sunflower oil, seasoned with fresh dill, chili powder, basil, and garlic. It offers a wonderful balance of earthy, nutty, and spicy notes. Perfect for a light lunch, a side dish, or a satisfying vegan main course, this recipe highlights the natural flavors of vegetables and legumes without heavy creams or cheeses.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Steam the asparagus and cauliflower florets for approximately 10 minutes until tender-crisp.
  2. While vegetables steam, chop the celery into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the steamed asparagus, cauliflower, and chopped celery. Set aside.
  4. Place cooked kidney beans, chopped filberts, sunflower oil, fresh dill, chili powder, basil, celery seed, minced garlic, and salt into a blender.
  5. Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the bean and nut sauce over the vegetable mixture.
  7. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the sauce.
  8. Serve at room temperature.
