Nicoles Garbanzo Citrus Spread Recipes

Steps:

• For the Garbanzo Bean Spread
• Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• To Make the Panini
• Combine the black olives, olive oil, salt, pepper, tuna, and artichokes in a bowl and toss gently to mix.
• Lay out the sliced baguettes. Spread both halves of the baguettes with the garbanzo bean spread. Spoon the tuna mixture onto the bottom half of each sandwich and top with the arugula. Close up the sandwiches. Wrap one end of each sandwich in parchment paper to make it easier to eat, if you like.

Steps:

• 1. Place garbanzo beans in a food processor. Pulse to desired consistancy (the more you pulse, the finer the consistancy). I like it with small pieces of beans. If it seems too dry, add a teaspoon or so of the reserved liquid. (No food processor? Mash the beans with a fork)
• 2. Place beans in a small bowl. Add rest of ingredients and stir to combine. For a creamier texture, add a little more mayonnaise.
• 3. Adjust seasoning and serve. Great on a bun with lettuce and tomato.
