Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet and cook shallot until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add hazelnuts and cook until toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook broccoli until softened, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well.

  3. Combine shallot-hazelnut mixture, broccoli, parsley, and dill in the bowl of a food processor, pulse until blended. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil in slowly, with the processor running, until spread is smooth. Add more olive oil if needed. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Recipe Note

This healthy vegan spread tastes great. If you add more olive oil, you can also eat it as a side to potatoes or over pasta.
