Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb broccoli, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide spears
1 garlic clove
1 (19-oz) can white beans such as cannellini, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup silken tofu (6 1/2 oz), drained and gently rinsed
2 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp ground cumin
pinch of cayenne

Directions:

Blanch broccoli in a pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt for 6 quarts water), uncovered, 2 minutes, then drain in a colander. Immediately plunge colander with broccoli into an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain again. Spread broccoli out on a kitchen towel to dry. (Broccoli will still be crisp.)
With motor of a food processor running, drop garlic through feed tube and process until finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients (except broccoli) and 1/2 teaspoon salt and purée until smooth. Force dip through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Serve broccoli with dip.
Cooks' notes: Broccoli can be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled in a sealed bag. Dip can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
