Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons canola oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

2 teaspoons ground cumin

ground red pepper to taste (start with a

scant pinch)

1 1/2 cups cooked chick-peas, or one 15-ounce can -- cooking or can

liquid saved

1 cup chick-pea liquid

1/2 cup walnuts (or pecans) -- lightly toasted, ground in a

blender or food processor to a coarse powder

1/2 pound broccoli -- cut into small florets, stems peeled and

diced

1 Roma tomato -- unpeeled, seeded, and diced

1 1/2 teaspoons pomegranate syrup

salt to taste

1 pound fusilli or linguine

 

In hot oil over moderate heat, saute onion until it is richly browned but not

burned, 8 to 12 minutes, stirring constantly (Watch carefully and don't let the

onions burn, as this will make the finished dish bitter.) Add turmeric, cumin,

and red pepper, and stir until evenly distributed. Add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons

water and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Place

this mixture along with chick-peas, chick-pea liquid, and ground walnuts in a

blender or food processor and process to a smooth puree. Return to heat. Add

broccoli stems, cover, and simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add broccoli

florets, tomato, and pomegranate syrup. Cover and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes

until broccoli is tender-crisp. Remove from heat. Season to taste with salt.

Keep warm until pasta is ready.

Cook and drain pasta according to package instructions. Pour sauce over and

serve.
