Featured Recipe
Try your hand at Sarah Dodge's adaptation on Eat Your Veggies, our blog's corner for market produce recipes. Gather your ingredients at market to create this stunning appetizer, just in time for the holidays! Arugula Mousse with Fried Chickpeas + Lemon
Servings: A lot - Prep about 25 minutes
- 1 8 oz can chickpeas, drained
- 2 cups frying oil, canola/vegetable/etc
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 avocado, pitted and skin removed
- 1 cup Atlanta Fresh whole milk plain yogurt
- 2 cups Arugula, washed
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- fresh dill to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon for garnish
- Heat canola oil in small saucepan. the oil needs to be hot hot and you need to be careful. test oil for readiness by dropping in a chickpea. if it sizzles and floats to the top you’re ready to fry.
- Fry as many chickpeas as you want. these are also a tasty snack, so make extra. It takes about 1 minute to fry. remove from oil and sprinkle with salt
- Place yogurt, avocado, arugula, garlic, lemon juice, and dill in food processor. process for 2-3 minutes until creamy and a uniform color exists. taste. and then add salt and pepper to taste. whip for another minute.
- As you can see, i put my mousse into a squeeze bottle for easy dispensing… but store in anything you like.
- For serving, dispense a TBS of mousse onto a spoon, garnish with 2-3 chickpeas, and a a little squeeze of lemon. therefore, at a party or wherever, guests can pick up a spoon and it’s all ready to go.
