Cooking Instructions

  • Cook your rice or other grain of choice, according to package directions. Add all sauce ingredients to a small bowl or jar, and mix until combined. Set sauce aside until ready to use.
  • Wash and dry your broccoli and cut it into florets. You can make them any size you like. Frozen broccoli can also be used.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat and add about 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the broccoli, mix until broccoli is coated with oil, and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until starting to brown.
  • Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and stir everything together. Let the broccoli and sauce cook together until broccoli is softened and sauce is starting to thicken, about 3-4 minutes. Then add in the chickpeas and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is thickened.
  • Turn the heat off and serve over rice, or your favorite grain, and top with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onion.

Notes

This dish can be made with frozen broccoli for added convenience.
