Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cooked chickpeas, peeled (from 1 to 1 1/4 cup dry chickpeas or from quality canned chickpeas. See recipe notes for more instructions on cooking and peeling chickpeas)
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
3 to 4 ice cubes
1/3 cup (79 grams) tahini paste
½ tsp kosher salt
Juice of 1 lemon
Hot water (if needed)
Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
Sumac

Steps:

  • Add chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
  • While processor is running, add ice cubes, tahini, salt, and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run processor and slowly add a little hot water. Blend until you reach desired silky smooth consistency.
  • Spread in a serving bowl and add a generous drizzle of Early Harvest EVOO. Add a few chickpeas to the middle, if you like. Sprinkle sumac on top. Enjoy with warm pita wedges and your favorite veggies.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of cayenne
2 tablespoons California extra-virgin olive oil
3 large chicken breast cutlets, pounded or thinly sliced
Juice of half a lemon, plus four slices of lemon
2 large cloves garlic, sliced
1/3 cup sliced kalamata olives, pitted
1/3 cup green olives (we use some marinated in herbs de Provence), pitted
3 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons butter

Steps:

  • Combine the flour and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet on medium flame until hot.
  • Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken over, add the lemon juice, lemon slices, garlic, olives, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the parsley, and the salt and pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally and stirring the olive mixture gently to avoid burning the garlic.
  • Add the butter to the pan, shaking to combine the sauce.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a serving plate, then pour the olive mixture over the top. Garnish with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of the fresh parsley.
