BEST BROTH EVER
Boil the kettle. Roughly chop the leeks. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the leeks until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting frequently). Add the Garlic, the NOMU rub and the Chickpeas, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix through the stock, 250ml [500ml]|#7DA0D7 of hot water, the broccoli, the juice from 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 lemon wedge/s, the lemon zest (to taste), and simmer to warm through, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally).
SMOOTH OPERATOR
Remove from the heat and pour the Leek and broccoli mixture along with ½ the crème fraîche and ½ the Parsley into a blender. Pulse until smooth and combined. Pour back into the pan, season and loosen with a splash of water if too thick. Keep over a low heat until serving.
BREAD STICKS
Toss the bread sticks in a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bread until crispy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Season and toss with the hard cheese while still hot.
FOR THE FANCY TOUCH
Place the remaining crème fraîche into a bowl and loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.
