Steamed Broccoli With Hummus

The book of Proverbs is, in ways, a treatise on talk. I would summarize it this way: words give life; words bring death – you choose. What does this mean? It means you have never spoken a neutral word in your life. Your words have direction to them. If your words are moving in the life direction, they will be words of encouragement, hope, love, peace, unity, instruction, wisdom, and correction. But if your words are moving in a death direction, they will be words of anger, malice, slander, jealousy, gossip, division, contempt, racism, violence, judgment, and condemnation. Your words have direction to them. When you hear the word talk you ought to hear something that is high and holy and significant and important. May God help us never to look at talk as something that doesn’t matter.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.  *available at specialty foods
shops and most supermarkets  In a food processor purÃ©e chick-peas,
tahini, lemon juice, oil, and  garlic paste and, if a smoother texture
is desired, force through a  fine sieve into a bowl. Whisk in enough
water to reach a pourable but  still thick consistency and stir in
parsley and salt to taste.  Cut broccoli stems into spears about 5
inches long with flowerets 1  1/2 inches wide. On a steamer rack set
over boiling water steam  broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, about
4 minutes.  Serve broccoli topped with hummus.  Serves 2 as a light
main course.  Gourmet August 1996  Posted to recipelu-digest by Sandy
