Ingredients:

1/4 cup hummus
60g
2 cups broccoli
180g
1 tsp sesame butter
5g
1 tsp sesame seeds
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Start by washing the broccoli thoroughly under cold running water.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets if they are not already pre-cut.
2. Cook the Broccoli:
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the broccoli florets. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Alternatively, you can steam the broccoli for about 4-5 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the broccoli and set it aside.
3. Prepare the Sesame Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the hummus and sesame butter. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
4. Assemble the Dish:
- Place the cooked and drained broccoli on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the hummus and sesame butter mixture over the broccoli, ensuring an even coating.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
5. Serve:
- Serve the broccoli with the hummus and sesame seeds immediately while the broccoli is still warm.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, you can lightly toast the sesame seeds before sprinkling them over the dish.

- Steaming the broccoli helps retain its bright green color and nutritional value. Avoid overcooking to keep it crisp-tender.

- Experiment with different flavors of hummus, such as garlic, roasted red pepper, or spicy varieties, to keep the dish interesting.

- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the broccoli for an added layer of flavor and healthy fats.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the sesame butter with tahini for a slightly different taste profile.
