Directions
In a food processor or blender, whirl the chickpeas, yogurt, garlic, water, oil, lemon juice, cumin, red pepper, and salt for 1 minute or until smooth. Set aside.
Cut the florets off the broccoli and peel and slice the stems 1/2" thick. Arrange the broccoli in a steamer or colander and set over boiling water in a large saucepan.
Cover and steam for 6 to 7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Spoon the sauce over the broccoli and toss to coat.
Serve with roast lamb or chicken.
