Mix with 4 chopped hard-boiled eggs, 1 chopped avocado, 1/4 cup each plain yogurt, mayonnaise and minced red onion and 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and Dijon mustard; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the hops oil: Fill a glass bottle to the top with the hops, about 4 cups depending on the size of the bottle. Zest and juice 10 of the lemons and reserve for the citrus shallot dressing. Juice the remaining 2 lemons and reserve 1/2 cup juice for the hummus. Slice the lemon rinds and add them to the bottle. Add the olive oil until the bottle is full. Turn the bottle upside down so the hops and rinds float upwards, infusing the oil. The longer the oil sits, the stronger the flavor. Infuse for a minimum of 48 hours, turning the bottle several times a day.
• For the hummus: Pour the beans into a large stockpot. Cover with cold water until the water line is about 3 inches above the beans. Partially cover the stockpot with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium-low heat. Simmer the beans slowly so they don't crack and break, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. If the water has been completely absorbed but the beans don't seem tender, add a bit of warm water and continue cooking to the desired texture. Drain any excess water and pour the beans onto a cookie sheet in an even layer to cool.
• For the citrus shallot dressing: Add the orange zest and juice to a mixing bowl with the reserved zest and juice of 10 lemons. Add the olive oil and shallots and use a whisk or blender to mix together. Refrigerate until using.
• To finish the hummus, puree the basil and garlic in a blender or food processor. Add the cooled beans and process. While the blender is running, gradually add the reserved 1/2 cup lemon juice and the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until using.
• For the roasted red bell peppers: Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs, until all sides are charred black, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, removing the skins, seeds and stems. Dice the peppers, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Set aside.
• For the sandwiches: Prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
• Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus spears and red onion slices. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables about 1 minute per side. Grill each side of the ciabatta halves until lightly browned.
• To assemble: Spread a small amount of hummus in the middle of each plate to keep the sandwich from sliding around when fully assembled. Place a grilled ciabatta half on top of the hummus and spread a generous amount of hummus on top of each ciabatta half, about 1/4 cup. Add some roasted red bell peppers and grilled red onions.
• In a small bowl, toss the arugula in the citrus shallot dressing. Pile up some arugula on top of each bread piece, followed by 4 spears of grilled asparagus. Finish with the pear tomatoes and sliced Fresno chiles. Lightly drizzle the hops oil over the sandwiches. Season with salt and coarsely ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Prepare filling: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and saute until tender and translucent, about 6 minutes; be careful not to brown them. Stir in asparagus and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool, about 5 minutes.
• Add goat cheese, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to the cooled shallots and mix to combine.
• Prepare chicken: Slice horizontally through each chicken breast, starting at the thinner edge and going 2/3 of the way through so they can open like a book.
• Spread 1/4 of the filling over the inside of each breast, leaving a 1/2-inch border uncovered. Close breasts to enclose the filling and secure with a toothpick if desired. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper over the breasts.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large, oven-proof, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange seasoned chicken, skin-side down, in the hot pan. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Gently turn and cook for 3 more minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and transfer to a platter to keep warm.
• Add butter to the same skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook until tender but not browned, about 6 minutes. Pour wine and chicken broth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and maintain a simmer for 3 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour about 1/4 cup of the hot sauce into the egg yolk mixture and whisk quickly to combine. Add egg yolk mixture to the skillet, whisking continuously without letting it boil. Cook until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Stir in parsley and tarragon.
