We've combined the flavors of Middle Eastern Hummus - garlic, sesame seeds,

chickpeas, lemon juice and cayenne pepper - with rice pilaf mix in a

refreshing salad.

 

In medium saucepan, heat oil and sesame seeds over medium-high heat, 2 to 3

minutes or until seeds begin to brown, stirring constantly. Stir in

garlic, cook 30 seconds.

 

Add water, rice and contents of Spice Sack; bring just to a boil.

 

Cover; reduce heat to low. Simmer 25 minutes.

 

Stir in chickpeas, parsley, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Cover;

refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving
