Featured recipe from Marilu's table * Chickpea broccoli casserole

This is a heartier main dish that makes great leftovers.

Be sure to make your own breadcrumbs from whole-grain bread. It's easy with a food processor (and only a little trickier with a blender). Just tear up the heels of bread and pulse them in the food processor using the blade. Voila – fresh bread crumbs. Keep them in the freezer so you have them whenever you need them. If you're using a blender, just do a little at a time, so the bread doesn't get stuck around the blade.
