THE KITCHN

2 large oranges; 1 zested and juiced, 1 peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey

3 teaspoons smoked paprika, separated

1 shallot, halved and thinly sliced

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, separated

1 can chickpeas, drained 

1½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish

1 bunch Tuscan kale, ribbed and chopped into 1-inch pieces

3 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks

----------------------------------------------------

1. In a small bowl whisk the zest and juice of 1 orange,  vinegar, mustard, honey, and 1 tsp. smoked paprika. In a slow and steady stream, whisk in ¼ cup olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced shallots, stir, and set aside.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat ¼ cup of olive oil over medium-high. Add the drained chickpeas, 1 tsp. smoked paprika and 1 ½ tsp. rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Cook until chickpeas start to get golden and crispy on the edges (around 6 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tsp smoked paprika over chickpeas, and toss to coat; set aside.

1 pound rhubarb cut into 1-inch pieces

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large sprigs rosemary, plus small sprigs for garnish
1 strip orange zest

1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
½ cup whole milk plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
3 to 4 ginger snap cookies, finely crumbled

1. In a medium saucepan, stir sugar, orange zest and rosemary with ½ cup water over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved, for about 2 minutes. Add rhubarb and bring to a boil.
