BROCCOLI STEAKS + BEETROOT HUMMUS 🥦
revisiting a recipe that encapsulates how I love to cook best. taking two humble vegetables, like broccoli and beetroot, then transforming one into ’steaks’, the other into hummus. two elements that then come together to create a vibrant, nutritious, and flavour-packed plate 🌞
my full written recipe for broccoli steaks + beetroot hummus can be found below - so enjoy! and as always, let me know if you give it a go 👇
INGREDIENTS (serves 2)
1 large broccoli
2/3 beetroots
500g jarred chickpeas (+ 1-2 tbsp of their liquid)
4 tbsp tahini
1 tsp cumin
1 lemon
2 garlic cloves
2 ice cubes
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp red chilli
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp agave (optional)
Salt
Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used odysea)
TO SERVE: salad + (flat)breads
METHOD
1. Begin with your beetroot. Either boil/roast until knife tender (around 30mins), then peel.
2. Add the beetroot, chickpeas, tahini, cumin, garlic, lemon juice, cumin + splash of chickpea water. Begin blending to combine.
3. Add the ice cubes one by one whilst the machine runs. Season with salt + blend until creamy/smooth (10min).
4. For the broccoli, slice into steaks (you should get 2). You can serve the rest of the florets on the side if you like.
5. Warm a good glug of olive oil in a frying pan. Sear the steaks on either side, seasoning well, until golden, brown + tender (5 min). Finish in oven if required.
6. For the vinaigrette, whisk together 3 tbsp evo, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, chopped chilli, parsley + agave. Season to taste, adjusting acidity / spice as necessary.
7. To serve, spread the hummus in the centre of a plate. Place broccoli steaks on top, then drizzle with the vinaigrette. Serve with flatbread + salad if you like
