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
- 2–3 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
- 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.
- 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!
