Instructions:
1. Blanch the broccolini: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the broccolini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking, then drain again.
2. Blend the ingredients: In a food processor, combine the blanched broccolini, roasted garlic, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
3. Adjust seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon, or olive oil if needed.
4. Serve and garnish: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little more olive oil. You can also sprinkle with a few chickpeas, sesame seeds, or a touch of paprika for extra garnish if desired.
