Broccoli and Hemp Hearts with Chimichurri
Hemp hearts are the soft inner part of hemp seeds after removing the outer shell. They are cream and green-coloured and come from the Cannabis sativa L. plant (contains no THC, the psychoactive part of cannabis). These little seeds are packed with protein, containing 9.5 g per 30 g, and have a glycaemic load of 0 in 3 tablespoons. This is a great addition to your pantry and should definitely be a staple! This recipe showcases how easy it is to incorporate hempseeds into a dish.
Ingredients
Chimichurri
- 2 cloves fresh garlic
- 5 stems fresh parsley
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 cup rocket
- 5 stems chives
- 4 tbsp Liviana® CBD-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
Broccoli
- 1 medium head broccoli
- 5 tbsp hemp hearts
Method
- Add all of the ingredients for the chimichurri into a pestle and mortar. Crush until combined, but still chunky. Taste for seasoning.
- Cut the broccoli up into small florets (approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cm). Cook in water for 3 minutes, then shock by putting the broccoli florets immediately into ice cold water. This will stop the cooking process and ensure nutrient-dense and vibrantly green veggies.
- Place the broccoli into a serving dish. Sprinkle generously with hemphearts and the chimichurri.
