- 1 Bay Leaf

- ¼ tsp dried thyme

- ¼ tsp Ras El Hannut click the link for the recipe
- pinch salt, black pepper to taste
For Serving

Instructions
Puroccoli
- Place the broccoli florets in a medium saucepan. Pour boiling water over them and cover. Cook over high heat until the water reaches the boiling point; Remove immediately from the heat and set aside, still covered. This way, we will keep the fresh-green color of the broccoli.
- Place the potatoes in another saucepan. Put the bay leaf and allspice balls in a small cotton bag, close the bag and add it to the pot; add one teaspoon of salt, cover the potatoes with water, cover the pot and bring to a boil. Lower to medium-low heat and cook until the potatoes are tender. While the potatoes are cooking, make the kebab.
- Once the potatoes have softened, remove the bag with the spices, strain the potatoes and save about a quarter cup of the cooking water. Next, put the boiled potatoes in a food processor, drain the broccoli and add to the food processor as well; add 1-2 tablespoons of the potato water, and process into a puree. If the puree is too thick/dense, add water, gradually, until you get the desired consistency.
- Transfer to a bowl, add olive oil, nutritional yeast, and spices, and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Kebab
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Line a pan with baking paper.
- Place the vegan minced meat into a bowl. Add pistachios, parsley, chopped onion, almond butter, olive oil, and spices; mix well until combined.
- Grease your hands with olive oil, and make patties in the shape of a kebab. Re-grease your hands after 2-3 kebabs.
- Place the kebabs on the pan and brush them with olive oil.
- Place in the hot oven for a short roast for 10-12 minutes (no more!) Until set.
For Serving
- Place the 'Puroccoli' on a plate, sprinkle some chopped pistachios and drizzle pistachio oil on top. Next, insert skewers into the kebabs and place them over the puree; drizzle tahini dressing on the kebabs, take a bite - and rejoice :)
