Ingredients

Potatoes and chickpeas:

Lemon-dill sauce:

  • 1 large lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped dill
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Asparagus:

Instructions

Make the potatoes and chickpeas:

  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes.
  • Add the chickpeas, capers, Dijon mustard, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and stir to combine the mustard with the liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and rapid-simmer for 30–45 minutes or until the liquid reduces significantly. Adjust the heat as needed if the liquid reduces too quickly or not quickly enough.
  • The finished result should be thick and stewy as the chickpeas and potatoes begin to break down. You should be left with about 1 cup liquid in the pot. Taste and season periodically, but be mindful of the salt, as the dish will become saltier as it reduces.

Make the lemon-dill sauce:

  • Combine the lemon juice, dill, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, and sugar in a bowl. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are well combined. Taste and add a pinch of salt.

Cook the asparagus:

  • Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to the oven and roast for 8–10 minutes, flipping once midway through cooking. Remove from the oven and set aside.

To serve:

  • Spoon the potatoes and chickpeas onto a large serving platter. Arrange the asparagus on top. Drizzle a few tablespoons of lemon-dill sauce over the dish, serving the remaining sauce at the table. Enjoy!
