Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

1 head of broccoli (about 3-4 cups) cut in florets
15.5 oz canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
2 tbsp tahini
½ tsp cumin powder
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 large clove of garlic
½ - 1 tsp salt or to taste
¼ cup fresh cilantro fresh parsley works well too

Instructions

Steamed or boil the broccoli until very tender. Then, drain and pat dry.
Transfer the cooked broccoli to a food processor and add the rest of the ingredients.
Process until you reach a smooth texture. Taste and check on the texture. I like to process mine for at least 1-2 minute so it's super smooth.
Serve with crackers, pita wedges or raw veggies or use in sandwiches. You can also make broccoli hummus pasta by tossing this hummus with warm noodles.

Notes

If you are looking for a thinner or smoother texture, then you can: Process longer, add extra liquid (especially 2-4 tbsp of very cold water while processing or olive oil), peel the chickpeas by removing their outer skins and make sure to cook the broccoli until very tender.
