BROCCOLI STEAKS + BEETROOT HUMMUS

Directions

  1. 1Begin with your beetroot. Either boil/roast until knife tender (around 30mins), then peel.
  2. 2Add the beetroot, chickpeas, tahini, cumin, garlic, lemon juice, cumin + splash of chickpea water. Begin blending to combine.
  3. 3Add the ice cubes one by one whilst the machine runs. Season with salt + blend until creamy/smooth (10min).
  4. 4For the broccoli, slice into steaks (you should get 2). You can serve the rest of the florets on the side if you like.
  5. 5Warm 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. 6For the vinaigrette, whisk together 3 tbsp evo, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, chopped chilli, parsley + agave. Season to taste, adjusting acidity / spice as necessary.
  7. 7To 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 - enjoy!
