Equipment
Food processor, small saucepan, large mixing bowl, airtight container
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp flaked almonds
- 2 tbsp sumac
- 1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges
- 1 large head broccoli or 2 small (about 450g/5oz), stalks trimmed and roughly peeled to remove the tough outer skin
- 1 x 600g jar chickpeas, drained
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Add the olive oil and almonds to a small saucepan and place over a medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the almonds turn golden (about 3–4 minutes). Stir in the sumac then remove from the heat and set aside to infuse.
Tip the red onion into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3–4 times. Roughly chop the broccoli then add to the processor and pulse another 15–18 times, until it's in small chunks (similar in size to the chickpeas).
Combine the almond and sumac oil, broccoli mixture and chickpeas in a large mixing bowl and toss well to combine. Season, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3–5 days.
