Composed Salad Of Roasted Broccoli Romaine Chickpeas And Walnuts Recipes

Steps:

• Make the broccoli: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss broccoli with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until broccoli begins to soften and brown, about 15 minutes.
• Make the chickpeas: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot, and cook, stirring until translucent, 5 minutes. Stir in chickpeas, and season with salt. Cook for 1 minute. Add vinegar, and cook until liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute.
• Make the goat cheese puree: Combine all ingredients in a food processor, and puree until smooth, scraping down sides once. Puree can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, honey, and salt. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until emulsified.
• To assemble: Toss broccoli with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette, and toss romaine with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Arrange on a platter with chickpeas and walnuts. Serve with puree and additional vinaigrette on the side.

Steps:

• Cut off the florets from 1 head broccoli. Trim, peel and chop the stalks. Toss on a baking sheet with one 15.5-ounce can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon shichimi togarashi (Japanese seasoning) and a pinch of salt. Roast at 450˚, stirring once, until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon togarashi and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and oil. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing and stir remaining into tuna; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss together romaine, spinach, beets, and chickpeas. Top with tuna and 1/4 cup dressing and serve with bread, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the chick peas and their soaking liquid in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer until the chick peas are tender, 30 minutes to an hour. Remove the bay leaf.
• Meanwhile, place the red onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and rinse. Dry on paper towels.
• Make the dressing. Mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil (or the oil and buttermilk or yogurt). Set aside.
• When the beans are tender, add the broccoli. Turn up the heat, cover and simmer or steam (depending on how much water is left in the pan) 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still bright. Drain the beans and broccoli and toss with the dressing. Add the herbs and the Parmesan, toss again, and serve warm.
