RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Pleasantly bitter and bringing a fantastic crunchy texture, broccolini makes for an exceptional partner to rich and creamy hummus. Trust us, after just one bite, you will be hooked on this flavorful, 4-ingredient, topper. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with baked pita chips, if desired.

 

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces Broccolini, stalks halved lengthwise
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup Israeli-Style Hummus
  • 1 tablespoon sliced red chile
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Just ok

This review is only for the broccolini portion.  I have made the hummus and it is good, but not needed for my dish tonight.  Broccolini is expensive and thus I do not cook with it often.  I was a little disappointed that the recipe called for cooking spray to be used on a cast iron skillet.  Who does that?  We grilled the broccolini instead.  It was just ok, not something I'd probably make again.
