Time 2h15m

Yield Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound dried chickpeas (1 heaped cup), soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 1 quart water
Salt, preferably kosher, to taste
1/2 pound broccoli crowns, broken into florets
1/2 small red onion, sliced (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, or a combination of parsley and dill
2 ounces shaved Parmesan
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red=wine vinegar, champagne vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced or put through a press
Salt, preferably kosher, and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or 4 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons buttermilk or plain low-fat or nonfat yogurt

Steps:

  • Place the chick peas and their soaking liquid in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer until the chick peas are tender, 30 minutes to an hour. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Meanwhile, place the red onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Dry on paper towels.
  • Make the dressing. Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil (or the oil and buttermilk or yogurt). Set aside.
  • When the beans are tender, add the broccoli. Turn up the heat, cover and simmer or steam (depending on how much water is left in the pan) 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still bright. Drain the beans and broccoli and toss with the dressing. Add the herbs and the Parmesan, toss again, and serve warm.

3 medium heads broccoli, stems removed and heads cut into florets (about 1 1/2 pounds total)

BROCCOLI, CHICKPEA, AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD



Broccoli, Chickpea, and Cherry Tomato Salad image

This easy recipe came from the March 2004 issue of Everyday Food. It is quick to put together and a colorful and delicious salad. I prefer to eat it right away, still slightly warm. I think it would be good sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese or with some chicken or tuna for a main course salad.

TUNA, CHICKPEAS AND BROCCOLI SALAD



Tuna, Chickpeas and Broccoli Salad image

This recipe is inspired by a common Italian combination, tuna and beans. It's a salad that keeps well in the refrigerator and one that's great to have on hand during the week. The broccoli will not retain its pretty green color once in contact with the acid in the dressing, so for best results keep the broccoli separate, along with a tablespoon of the dressing. Just before you want to eat, toss in the broccoli and extra dressing; or eat the broccoli separately with the dressing.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can water-packed light tuna, drained
1/2 can chickpeas, (1/3 cup) drained and rinsed
1 stalk celery, cut in small (1/4-inch) dice
1/2 red bell pepper, cut in small (1/4-inch) dice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
1 broccoli crown, steamed for 4 to 5 minutes and broken into florets
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon vinegar (red wine, sherry or white wine)
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the tuna, chickpeas, celery, bell pepper, parsley and chives. Keep the broccoli separate.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and Dijon mustard. Whisk in the olive oil and yogurt, and toss with the tuna and chickpea mixture. Refrigerate in a bowl or in containers until ready to take to work or eat. Add the broccoli just before serving.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head broccoli (12 ounces), trimmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
3 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, such as Polly-O, thinly sliced
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F, with a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet on middle rack. Quarter broccoli lengthwise; cut larger pieces in half again (also lengthwise) to create long florets. Remove skillet from oven; swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add broccoli and turn to coat, then arrange so a flat side of each piece faces down; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
  • Stir together panko, Parmigiano, remaining oil, garlic, thyme, and oregano; season. Transfer broccoli to a plate. Add marinara to skillet; top with mozzarella and chickpeas. Return broccoli to skillet, browned-sides up. Sprinkle evenly with panko mixture. Roast until panko is golden, mozzarella is melted, and sauce is bubbling, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and nutritious.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
  • Use a variety of textures in your salad. This will make it more interesting to eat. For example, you could use crunchy chickpeas, soft broccoli, and creamy avocado.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different ways to dress a chickpea and broccoli salad. You could use a simple vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or a yogurt-based dressing.
  • Make it a meal. Add some grilled chicken or tofu to your salad to make it a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Chickpea and broccoli salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish. With so many different ways to make it, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy.
