Forty-Clove Chickpeas & Broccoli created by digifoo

Well not exactly 40 but 10 and that's still alot!! This is a great meal to throw together, put it into the oven, and go do whatever until its ready. Very simple but amazingly tasty!! I recommend serving with Caulipots (Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes) which can be found in her book. This recipe comes from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's book Appetite for Reduction - 125+ fast & filling low-fat vegan recipes. Enjoy!

1 lb broccoli, cut into large spears, stems chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
10 garlic cloves, smashed
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 teaspoons olive oil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons dried oregano
1 cup vegetable broth

directions

Preheat over to 400 deg F. Place the broccoli, garlic, and chickpeas in a 9 by 13 pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt, several pinches of pepper, and add the lemon zest & oregano. Toss again to coat and put into the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping once.
Remove from oven and add the vegetable broth. Use a spatula to loosen any crisp bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the pan to the oven for another 15 minutes or until the garlic is tender and broccoli is browned in some places. Enjoy!

Excellent! Make sure to use a 9x13 glass pan, and it should turn out perfectly. I didn't use the oregano, and I put lemon juice on it after plating instead of using rind. I served it with plain quinoa. Nom nom nom.

I felt like it needed something. Pasta?<br/><br/>Nuking was not kind to it :( The broccoli got mushy as the chickpea got hot.

A garlicky dish for sure! Very enjoyable easy to prepare. I found that after the recommended cooking period, the garlic still wasn't cooked ... and by that point the broccoli was verging on being overdone - so I ended up covering it and letting it cook another 10 minutes or so. I may have taken the term 'smashed' too literally :), next time I'd chop it up more. The chickpea lover in the house thought they were fantastic, and I really liked the broccoli best. The broth was of course fantastic! I could have used more broth just to drizzle on top. I served with plain rice which was maybe too bland an accompaniment...a mash with this is a great idea (which is what I'm assuming Caulipots is!). Thanks Mindelicious, looks like I'm going to have to buy that book!
