Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 onion
70g
4 garlic cloves
12g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 bunch broccoli
610g
10.50 oz chickpeas
300g
1/3 cup vegetable broth
80g
1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.45g
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets and rinse the chickpeas.
2. Sauté Onion and Garlic:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3. Cook Broccoli:
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet.
- Season with salt and black pepper, and stir well to combine.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli starts to soften.
4. Add Chickpeas and Broth:
- Add the chickpeas and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add the red pepper flakes.
- Stir everything together and cover the skillet. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the broth has mostly evaporated.
5. Finish and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the dish and gently mix until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Serve:
- Serve the garlic-infused sautéed chickpeas and broccoli immediately. Optionally, you can garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an added kick.

Tips:

- Ensure you mince the garlic finely to get an even distribution of flavor throughout the dish.

- Do not overcook the broccoli. Aim for a bright green color with a slight crunch to retain its nutrients and texture.

- If you like a bit more spice, you can increase the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste preference.

- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.

- For a vegan option, you can replace parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast.

This garlic-infused sautéed chickpeas with broccoli and parmesan dish is a perfect combination of flavors and textures. Serve it hot, and enjoy the health benefits along with the delicious taste. It’s a great way to incorporate more vegetables and plant-based protein into your diet.
