• 5 garlic cloves
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
• ½ teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest
• ¾ cup greek yogurt, 150 grams

Simplified Directions

For the Broccolini Dip

• Thinly slice the onion and finely chop the broccolini. Grate the garlic and set aside.
• In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 20-30 minutes or until beginning to caramelize. Add the chili flakes, fennel seed, chopped broccolini and garlic and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the broccolini has softened. Season liberally with salt.
• Either with a knife or in a food processor, chop up the broccolini mixture until it is fine. Add the lemon zest, taste and season with salt and pepper as preferred.
• Mix this in with the yogurt to get a creamy consistency. Serve now or store for later!

For the Seed Crackers

• In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, almond flour, flax, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, rosemary, thyme, pepper flakes and ½ teaspoon salt. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture and stir to combine.
• Pour warm water into a bowl and whisk in the honey until it dissolves. Pour this into the oats mixture and stir to combine.
• Spread this out on a lined sheet pan and bake at 350 until deeply golden throughout, 30-35 minutes. Let cool before breaking into pieces.
