2 garlic cloves, peeled and blanched in boiling water for 2 minutes

2 tbsps. water

1 tsp. olive oil

1 tsp. lemon juice

In a food processor or blender, whirl the chick peas, yogurt, garlic, water,

aside. Cut the florets off the broccoli and peel and slice the stems half an

broccoli and toss to coat.
