Cooking instruction summary:

Drain and rinse both cans of chickpeas. Place chickpeas in a food processor and puree in 5-10 second increments. You do not want to turn the chickpeas into a mash, you simply want to grind them into pieces. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a pan and heat. Add the chickpeas and let cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, continuously stirring so as not to burn. Add remaining ingredients, except basil, and stir. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occassionally. If using basil leaves, add them and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring the basil in and allowing it to wilt. Wash lettuce leaves and pat dry. Spoon a healthy serving of chickpea mixture onto lettuce wraps and serve immediately. Drizzle with sirachi sauce if desired.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
