I don't like broccoli all that much but I like it made this way.

Steamed broccoli with hummus

 

1 19 oz. can chick-peas; rinsed and drained, about 2 cups

3 tablespoon well-stirred tahini

3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 

2 garlic cloves minced and mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt

3 to 6 tablespoon water

1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves; washed well, spun dry, and minced

1 pound broccoli, tough ends of stems discarded

 

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. 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. Serve broccoli topped

with hummus. Serves 2.
