We’ve come across this delicious **broccoli hummus** suggested by [Recetasegipcias.com](https://comidasegipcias.com/hummus-de-brocoli/) and we couldn’t resist sharing it with all of you. It’s very easy to make and will only take a few minutes of your time. Yes, yes… here we go!
**Ingredients:**
– 250 grams of cooked chickpeas
– 400 grams of broccoli
– Tahini
– 2 cloves of garlic
– Lemon juice
– Pepper
– Olive oil
– 2 tablespoons of almonds
– Water
**Step-by-Step Preparation:**
1. Before starting, preheat the oven to around 180 degrees.
2. While it heats up, **wash and cut the broccoli into several pieces,** place them on a tray, and add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by salt and pepper to taste.
3. Then, bake for about 20 minutes and remove when the broccoli has a golden color.
4. Using a **food processor**, add the well-drained cooked chickpeas, halved garlic cloves, juice of half a lemon, 1 tablespoon of tahini, and the baked broccoli.
5. Blend until you get a green cream with a smooth and perfectly homogeneous consistency without lumps. If you find it too thick, just add a few drops of water **until you get the desired texture.**
6. Finally, place it in a small container, add a drizzle of olive oil, and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of almonds over the surface.
**Some Tips:**
– It is recommended to divide the hummus preparation into two portions, using a constant speed in the food processor. This way, you’ll get a more compact texture, free of residues, and avoid the ingredients from sticking to the walls of the food processor.
– In addition to almonds, you can also add to the final presentation, **2 tablespoons of pine nuts,** toasted sesame seeds, strips of bell peppers, lemon zest, or a little baked broccoli.
– Another option for preparing the broccoli is to **steam or boil them.**
– Broccoli hummus is considered a **vegan** dish, which can be perfectly accompanied by any vegetable. Substituting chickpeas with grains like cooked lentils or even mixing both ingredients will provide more nutritional value to the recipe.
– Another variation of this recipe is to use only the **broccoli stalks** as a base for its preparation, steamed, baked, or even roasted, without adding cooked chickpeas.
