Ingredients:

1 large bunch broccoli
2 tsp. garlic, minced
2 cups coconut milk
2 Tbs. tamari soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp. dried lemongrass, finely ground
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp. ground coriander seeds
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled & chopped
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, halved or quartered
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas

Directions:
Cut florets from the broccoli stalks and cut each floret so that the top measures about 1 inch across; peel off the outer skin of the stalks and cut into 1/2-inch dice; set aside.
Heat 1 Tbs. of water in a pressure cooker (can be done in regular pot, but will take twice as long); cook the garlic over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for about a minute.
Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, lemongrass, dried basil, spices, red pepper flakes, reserved broccoli stalks, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms.
Lock the lid in place; over high heat, bring to high pressure; lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove the lid, and stir in the broccoli florets and chickpeas; replace the lid and cook over medium heat until broccoli is tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
