• 1 broccoli head, cut into florets

• 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or 1 can (15 oz.), drained and rinsed

Creamy Lemon Hippie Sauce

• 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans or chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed or 1 1/2 cups fresh cooked
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, optional
• 1 large garlic clove
• juice of 1 large lemon
• mineral salt, to taste
• 2 - 4 tablespoons water for thinning 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower and radishes, drizzle with oil, garlic powder and salt, mix well to coat. Place mixture on rimmed cookie sheet or roasting pan. Cook for 35 -45 minutes, stirring once in between.

While vegetables are roasting, in a medium pot add quinoa and 1 1/2 cup water. Sprinkle in a dash or two of garlic powder and mineral salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, uncover and let rest for 10 minutes. Fluff with fork.

Next, prepare your sauce by placing all the ingredients in food processor/blender, except the water, and blend until creamy smooth. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency. You may also like to add more lemon in place of water for a really zesty lemon sauce. Taste for flavor adding extra garlic or salt if needed.

Serve vegetables on top of quinoa, add a generous amount of sauce on top...don't be shy with the sauce, it's so good and healthy. Add some freshly chopped parsley and cracked pepper or lemon pepper if you like. A Buddha bowl fit for a king or queen!

Store left overs in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week

Notes:

If you have sauce left over, you can use it a dip for veggies or pita chips, or as a spread for sandwiches.
