Steps:
- Pop Trader Joe's frozen brown rice in the microwave, or make a batch of rice the traditional way.
- While rice is cooking, make the dressing by whisking together half of the chopped garlic, tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 3 tbs. olive oil.
- Add the hot water to thin a bit, and then 2 teaspoons salt. Set aside.
- Add 3 tbs. olive oil to a big skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the pan.
- Be sure the chickpeas are completely dry, or they'll spit at you during this next step!
- Add the chickpeas and a sprinkling of salt. Let the beans saute for a couple minutes, until they get a toasty little crust on them.
- Add remaining garlic and onions. Stir for a minute.
- Stir in the asparagus with another pinch or two of salt, then cover with a lid for a minute to steam until the asparagus softens a touch.
- Uncover and stir in the rice and almond slivers, reserving a few almonds for garnish.
- Adjust seasonings, adding more salt if needed.
- Serve family-style in a big bowl drizzled with a few tablespoons of the tahini dressing, letting each person add more dressing to their tastes.
- Watch as this magical concoction disappears before your eyes!

ASPARAGUS WITH BROWN BUTTER
Writing in 1991, Jacques Pépin talked of his love of asparagus, stemming back to his childhood in France. His approach to the vegetable is as uncomplicated as it gets. "It is best when cooked in just enough water to steam it," he wrote. "It is ready - tender but still a bit firm to the bite - after a few minutes." Topped with a brown butter sauce, it's a perfect accompaniment to meat, poultry or fish, but also just as at home with some white rice, part of a simple weeknight meal.

Steps:
- Peel the lower part (root end) of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler.
- In a large nonreactive saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the asparagus in one layer, cover and cook over high heat for about 6 minutes, to the desired tenderness. Lift asparagus from the water (most of it should have evaporated) and arrange on a platter.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet until it is lightly browned and stops smoking. Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and pepper, and pour the hot butter over it. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Make the dressing by whisking together the garlic, tahini, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil. Add the hot water to thin a bit and then the salt. Set aside.
- Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil around to coat the pan, then add the chickpeas and sprinkling of salt. Let the beans saute there for about 5 minutes. They will hiss and pop over high heat so be careful.
- Add the garlic and onions. Stir for a minute. Stir in the asparagus with another pinch or two of salt, cover with a lid for 1 - 2 minutes to steam, do not overcook.
- Uncover and stir in the rice and almond slivers, reserving a few almonds for garnish.
- Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve with a few tablespoons of the tahini dressing.

TEN MINUTE TASTY ASPARAGUS AND BROWN RICE
Steps:
- If you're using frozen rice (did I just say that?), heat it on its own in a pot or per package instructions. Make the dressing by whisking together the garlic, tahini, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil. Add the hot water to thin a bit and then the salt. Set aside. Add a couple glugs of olive oil (roughly 3 tablespoons) to a big skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil around to coat the pan, then add the chickpeas and sprinkling of salt. Let the beans saute there for a couple minutes (I like to try to get some crusty color on them). Be careful, they seem to hiss and pop more then other beans over high heat. Add the garlic and onions. Stir for a minute. Stir in the asparagus with another pinch or two of salt, cover with a lid for a minute or two to steam - just until the asparagus brightens and softens up just a bit. Uncover and stir in the rice and almond slivers, reserving a few almonds for garnish. Taste and add more salt if needed (likely). Serve family-style in a big bowl drizzled with a few tablespoons of the tahini dressing, let each person add more dressing to their tastes. Serves 4-6.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, add the onion, and cook until the onion softens, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and toast the grains, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to look opaque (bright white), about 4 minutes. Add the water, butter, lemon slice, and lemon zest, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks and discard them. Cut the spears on a diagonal into 1-inch lengths. Fill a large non-reactive pot with a steamer rack with 1/2 inch water, place the pot over medium heat, and bring the water to a simmer. Add the asparagus, cover, and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a serving bowl and toss in the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
