How to Make It
1 Cook the millet according to package instructions.
2 To prepare the sauce, place the chickpeas with liquid, garlic, lemon juice, and zest in a high speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Set aside.
3 Heat a large cast iron or non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and saute until translucent.
4 Add the zucchini and garlic to the pan, stirring to spread evenly across the pan. Then, do not stir for approximately 4-5 minutes until zucchini begins to soften and brown.
