Instructions
- Sauté shallot in EVOO with cumin (can add other spices) for several minutes and then add asparagus and celery. Can use 2 tbsp of broth instead of oil if prefer a no fat method. Can also add broccoli here if desired.
- Make “spice broth” by taking the cumin, coriander, and fennel and boiling them in 4 cups of water for 10 minutes. Strain. Add to the shallot, and celery mixture.
- Boil for 5 minutes to let flavors combine.
- Add chard, watercress, and dill, and take off the heat. Let sit for several minutes to cool off and “cook” the greens. Bring this mixture to a blender and add avocado, ginger, and lime juice.
- Blend thoroughly. Add salt/pepper to taste. It will have a bitter quality which you want!
