Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375ᵒ F.

2

Toss cauliflower with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Place on lined cookie sheet or in a large flat casserole dish. Roast for 15 minutes.

3

Place quinoa and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

4

While cauliflower and quinoa are cooking, sauté onions in 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.

5

Drain and rinse chickpeas. Place in a food processor with tahini, lemon juice, and water. Pulse until consistency is that of hummus. Start with 1/3 cup water, adding more if necessary.

6

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add quinoa, oregano, and sautéed onions.

7

When cauliflower is finished roasting, place in food processor and pulse until mealy. Add to chickpea mixture and mix thoroughly. Place hash in a large casserole dish and put it back in a 250-degree oven to keep warm while you make the gravy and the broccoli.
