Spiced Summer Squash With Garbanzo Beans And Browned Onions Recipes

SPICED SUMMER SQUASH WITH GARBANZO BEANS AND BROWNED ONIONS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the squash with 1/2 tsp of salt and set on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels. Let sit for 15 minutes, then pat dry with the paper towels and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat 1 1/2 tbl oil in a large (12-inch or so) skillet over med-high heat until hot, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the squash and cook, tossing occasionally, until it browns and begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining oil, onion, and salt; cook, stirring, until onion begins to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin and cinnamon, stirring until they have become fragrant. Add the tomato, garbanzo beans and 1/4 cup water, cook and stir until water is almost completely gone and tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add the squash and cook, still stirring, so the squash is tender and picks up the flavor of the spices, about 5 minutes. Stir in half of cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle remaining cilantro upon serving.

• Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is nicely browned and tender, another 6 minutes. Add the sage and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt to taste. Stir in the chives, transfer to a bowl or platter and serve.

HUMMUS WITH SPICED SUMMER SQUASH AND LAMB

Steps:

• Hummus:
• Process chickpeas in a food processor until powdery clumps form, about 30 seconds. Add garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and salt and process until smooth. With motor running, drizzle in 1/2 cup water and process until hummus is very smooth, light, and creamy. Spoon onto a large plate.
• Lamb and assembly:
• Mix together salt, coriander, cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add lamb and press into a large 1 1/4"-thick patty; sprinkle with half of spice mixture and half of garlic. Cook, without moving, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Turn over in pieces and cook until other side is browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, breaking up and stirring, until cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon, scoop lamb over hummus.
• Pour out and discard fat and wipe out skillet. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil over high. Cook squash in a single layer, undisturbed, until browned, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining spice mixture and garlic and cook, stirring, until squash is coated and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Spoon squash over lamb. Drizzle with more oil and top with herbs. Serve with pita.
