Ingredients:
a 19-ounce can chick-peas, rinsed and drained (about 2 cups) |
3 tablespoons well-stirred tahini (sesame seed paste) |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt |
3 to 6 tablespoons water |
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, washed well, spun dry, and minced |
1 pound broccoli, tough ends of stems discarded |
Directions:
1. In a food processor purée chick-peas, tahini, lemon juice, oil, and garlic paste and, if a smoother texture is desired, force through a fine sieve into a bowl. Whisk in enough water to reach a pourable but still thick consistency and stir in parsley and salt to taste.
2. Cut broccoli stems into spears about 5 inches long with flowerets 1 1/2 inches wide. On a steamer rack set over boiling water steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
3. Serve broccoli topped with hummus.
