- 1 cauliflower (about 1 pound), cut into florets
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 strip fresh lemon peel
- ½ cup charmoula thinned with lemon juice
- 1 or 2 small zucchini, parboiled and cut into ½-inch dice, or 1/8 pound green beans, parboiled and cut into ½-inch dice
- ½ cup cooked chickpeas
- A few oil-cured black olives, for garnish
- Steam the cauliflower with the garlic and lemon peel in lightly salted water until very tender, about 8 minutes. Place the cauliflower and garlic in a large bowl and mash coarsely. Stir in the charmoula dressing. Alternatively, steam the cauliflower and garlic and transfer to a sauté pan. Add the dressing and sauté and mash in the pan.
- Fold the zucchini or green beans and the chickpeas into the cauliflower. Place in a serving dish and garnish with olives. Serve immediately.
