Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or more as needed
1 shallot, minced
¾ cup chopped hazelnuts
2 ¾ cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
