Utensils Used
| 1. Pop Trader Joe's frozen brown rice in the microwave, or make a batch of rice the traditional way. | 2. While rice is cooking, make the dressing by whisking together half of the chopped garlic, tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 3 tbs. olive oil. | 3. Add the hot water to thin a bit, and then 2 teaspoons salt. Set aside. | 4. Add 3 tbs. olive oil to a big skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the pan. | 5. Be sure the chickpeas are completely dry, or they'll spit at you during this next step! | 6. Add the chickpeas and a sprinkling of salt. Let the beans saute for a couple minutes, until they get a toasty little crust on them. | 7. Add remaining garlic and onions. Stir for a minute. | 8. Stir in the asparagus with another pinch or two of salt, then cover with a lid for a minute to steam until the asparagus softens a touch. | 9. Uncover and stir in the rice and almond slivers, reserving a few almonds for garnish. | 10. Adjust seasonings, adding more salt if needed. | 11. Serve family-style in a big bowl drizzled with a few tablespoons of the tahini dressing, letting each person add more dressing to their tastes. | 12. Watch as this magical concoction disappears before your eyes! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
