Vegetables and Chickpeas
- a few cups broccoli florets
- small bunch carrots
- ½ cup cooked chickpeas canned is fine
- olive oil
- a few handfuls spinach
- squeeze of lemon
- salt & pepper
Red Pepper Sauce
- 1 cup chickpeas canned is fine, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup almonds blanched & skins peeled
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 jarred roasted red pepper about ¼ cup worth
- juice of ½ a lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1-2 teaspoons dry harisa seasoning optional
- approx. ¼-1/3 cup water to thin consistency
- salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place vegetables and chickpeas on a large baking sheet so that they're not touching too closely (use 2 sheets if you have to).
Drizzle and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Roast until golden brown (20-30 minutes total, but take a look after the first 20 - remove the broccoli first if necessary).
Make your red pepper sauce by pureeing all sauce ingredients into a high speed blender.
Add water until the consistency is thinner than hummus.
Taste and adjust seasonings.
Place raw spinach in serving bowls, dress with a little bit of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt & pepper.
Top with the warm roasted vegetables (so the spinach will wilt just slightly) and a dollop of sauce.
Store extra sauce in the fridge - it's also great as a sandwich spread or a veggie dip.
