Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 (14 oz) can chickpeas, drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 bunch asparagus , cut into 1-inch segments
3 cups pre- cooked brown rice
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
fine grain sea salt
1 garlic clove, smashed and chopped
1/4 cup tahini
1 lemon , zest of
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt

Directions:

Make the dressing by whisking together the garlic, tahini, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil. Add the hot water to thin a bit and then the salt. Set aside.
Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil around to coat the pan, then add the chickpeas and sprinkling of salt. Let the beans saute there for about 5 minutes. They will hiss and pop over high heat so be careful.
Add the garlic and onions. Stir for a minute. Stir in the asparagus with another pinch or two of salt, cover with a lid for 1 - 2 minutes to steam, do not overcook.
Uncover and stir in the rice and almond slivers, reserving a few almonds for garnish.
Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve with a few tablespoons of the tahini dressing.
