Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets and rinse the chickpeas.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
