Chickpeas with Broccoli

After a week of eating pizza almost everyday, I've been in need of meal that was made of real, healthy ingredients. This was easy, pretty quick, delicious and most importantly filling!
 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced 
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 heads broccoli, including stalks, trimmed and chopped (2 cups) 
  • 1 (10.5 oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth 
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan shavings 
In a large skillet (preferably one with a lid), warm olive oil over medium heat until hot. Carefully add onion, garlic and salt, and sauté, stirring often, until onion becomes transparent and garlic just begins to turn golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

Toss in broccoli; sauté for 3 minutes. Add chickpeas, broth. Stir once, cover and cook for 3 minutes more, just to heat through and finish cooking broccoli.

Uncover, season with pepper, sprinkle with Parmesan and serve. Add chopped smoked salmon if you have it. Nom!
