Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2
In a large heavy skillet cook garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden. Transfer garlic and 1 tablespoon oil to a food processor. Add chick-peas, 1/4 cup water, and salt and pepper to taste and blend mixture until smooth.
Step 3
Heat oil remaining in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and cook broccoli rabe, turning it with tongs, until wilted. Add remaining 1/4 cup water and pepper flakes and simmer, covered partially, until broccoli rabe is crisp-tender and almost all liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Spread rough sides of pita with chick-pea purée and top with broccoli rabe and Parmesan.
Step 5
Arrange pita pizzas on a large baking sheet and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until edges are golden.
