Steamed Chickpea Dip

This American Comfort Dip leans on maple and mustard to do the heavy lifting. We steam the Chickpea for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the maple and mustard elements, and pat the chickpea dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the chickpeas and steam until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the yellow mustard and the rest of the maple and mustard flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the broccoli along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped chives and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
