Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil (take the oil from the jar of tomatoes)
  • 1 large shallot, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 can garbanzo beans, drained
  • 1 1/2 cup cooked orzo
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (soaked in oil)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, whole
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, whole
  • zest from 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Tahini Dressing (Recipe below)

Lemon Tahini Dressing

  • 1/3 cup tahini – stir to combine all the natural oils first, before measuring
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon real high quality maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large pinch sea salt
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 23 tablespoons hot water (you may need to add more if it thickens up too much)

In a glass jar with a lid, combine all the ingredients. Put a lid on the jar and shake up to combine. If the dressing is too thick, add 1 tablespoon more of hot water to the mix. Continue to do this until it reached your desired consistency.

Store in this container for up to 1 week.


Instructions

  1. Heat a small sauce pan over medium high heat. Add in the sun-dried tomato oil and shallot. Sauté until the shallots are cooked, translucent and softened. Add in the garlic and drained garbanzo beans. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minutes. Turn the heat off to let cook.
  2. In a serving bowl combine all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon. Drizzle the dressing over the top at the end – serve more table side for extra sauce and tang!
