WHAT YOU NEED
3 medium sweet potatoes
1 cup garbanzo beans
1/2 -3/4 cup of avocado oil
2 egg yolks
1/2 lemon (juiced)
1 tbsp mustard
1 clove of garlic
handful of fresh dill (or 1 tsp of dried dill)
arugula
sesame seeds (optional)
LET'S GET COOKIN'
rinse dried garbanzo beans and soak in warm water for 4-6 hours
when done soaking, boil in water for 30 minutes
(if you are using canned garbanzo beans, skip forward to next steps)
preheat oven to 400
stab sweet potatoes a few times with a fork (really get your anger out)
place directly on oven rack and cook for 40 minutes or so
in a oven safe dish, add 1 tsp avocado oil
add garbanzo beans, salt, pepper and garlic powder to dish
rub those beans down until full seasoned
put in the oven for 20 minutes
while garbanzo beans and sweet potatoes are cooking...
add the following into a food processor (you can use a blender, if it has a top where you can pour liquid in while it's blending; immersion blender works too but it will take a little maneuvering)
2 egg yolks
1/2 lemon (juiced)
1 tbsp mustard
1 clove of garlic
salt + pepper + garlic powder
fresh dill
blend
while these ingredients are blending together you are going to SLOWLY pour in the avocado oil (between 1/2 - 3/4 cup) into the food processor. now when I say pour the oil in slowly, I mean so slow that the oil is trickling in as the other ingredients are blending. The "SLOWNESS" of the pour is critical to the consistency of the aioli. If you pour the oil in too fast then mixture will remain very thin.
...basically, if your wrist is not in some sort of awkward discomfort during this, you are pouring tooo quickly.
once sweet potatoes & garbanzo beans are done cooking, remove from the oven.
slice sweet potatoes in 1/2 long ways.
stuff with arugula
next add in garbanzo beans
drizzle them babies with that aioli
top with sesame seeds
serve & enjoy.
