Rice pudding with raisins

Broccoli with chickpeas & tahini sauce

Serves 2 – 3






Ingredients:

1 head broccoli, chopped into bite sized mini-trees
1 can chickpeas (14oz / 400g), drained
2 tablespoons tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice


Process:

Preheat a large frying pan on the hottest heat. Add 2 tablespoon olive oil to pan. When it starts to smoke add the broccoli and cover with a lid or an oven tray – it’s critical to seal it so the broccoli fries from the bottom but steams at the top.

After 2 minutes, remove the lid and stir. Return lid and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas and stir. Cover and cook for another minute.

Test a piece of broccoli – if it’s tender, remove from the heat. If not, cover and cook for another few minutes. Season.

Meanwhile, combine tahini and lemon juice with 2 tablespoons water and stir until you have a smooth sauce.

Serve broccoli and chickpeas with tahini sauce drizzled over the top.
