Use a 15 oz. can of chick peas or garbanzo beans (same thing, just two names) Add 2T tahini, 2T extra virgin olive oil, juice from a whole lemon, and one half tablespoon of salt, 2 Cloves of garlic. Process in blender or food processor. Here is what else I did: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp tumeric (both pretty traditional), and non traditionally, I put 2 Tbsp. flax seed meal. After it was all processed I also sprinkled on about a tsp of cilantro and stirred it to give it some color. I have seen other recipes with tumeric and cumin. These are seasonings that are anti inflammatory, supposed to help arthritis. Tumeric gives it a yellow color. Flax seed meal is also very good for a lot of ailments and adds fiber and Omega 3's. I have also put crushed black olives in it before. I have a hard time following a recipe to the letter. How about you? Do you have a favorite dish that you have put a special spin on?

After he died, I startedto make some food he couldn´t eat for his illness and other he did not like. Garbanzo was one of them. I make it with pork legs. It gives it a wonderful taste. Many times I also put some rice. How do you make them? What do you do with them? I´d love to try new recipes. Happy posting to all!!!

It is a Middle Eastern dish made from Garbanzo beans or Chick Peas. Either name works. I have bought it before, and made it before and it is really simple. I enjoyed it as a side dish when I had dinner with Grandpa Bob in the restaurant where Debbie works. Have you tried hummus? Do you like it? Have you ever made it? Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:52:55 GMT GardenGerty http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2038941.aspx Last week I was having an "annoying little problem" that comes with not eating enough fiber, if you get my drift. I guess my diet had been a little off for a few days, and I ended up paying for it by being wide awake and uncomfortable at 2 AM. I understand vegetables have a lot of fiber in them, and solve the problem easily. Which vegetables have the most fiber, and are best for fixing irregularity?

It reminds me of falafel, and I will use tahini dressing as a condiment, along with onion, tomato, and lettuce. Garbanzo Bean Burgers 2 cups cooked garbanzo beans, mashed or run through a food processor 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 1 carrot, finely chopped 1/4 small onion, minced 1/4 cup whole wheat flour Salt (opt.) and pepper to taste 2 TB oil Mix ingredients, except oil, in bowl. Form mixture into 6 patties. Fry in oiled pan over medium-high heat until burgers are golden brown on each side. To make the burgers low fat, I bake them on a greased cookie sheet for 25 minutes at 425 degrees.

I keep homemade crushed red pepper oil on hand to use as a simple condiment and flavor accent. I call it fire oil, and it couldn't be easier to make. Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes in hot olive oil, let it cool, and ignore it. The flavor lights up over the next day or two, and the longer I leave it, the better. I also make hummus regularly to eat as an afternoon snack, but until now it hadn't occurred to me to combine these two favorites. So here you have it, a hummus of sorts made from pureed garbanzo beans, toasted walnuts, and spicy crushed red pepper oil. The rustic red pepper flecks and translucent olive oil are set against the creamy backdrop of the pureed beans. To finish things off, I couldn't resist a few oily, black olives and chopped cilantro - both of which I had on hand... Enjoy. Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:33:35 GMT savypat http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1484523.aspx I am remembering those cooking shows in which someone is given one ingredient or a list of ingredients and then is told to make a dish or meal out of them... Wondering if you ever have watched these cooking shows? If you have watched these shows or even if you just like the idea of a challenge... Here is one for you... What would you make with: a container of firm tofu, a small amount of frozen veggies (spinach mostly and a little bit of peas and corn) a small amount of crushed pineapple, a can of coconut milk, a box of tomato sause some pasta of the fettuchine or rigatoni variety, a can of garbanzo beans, a can of refried beans, some vegitable broth, some frozen raspherries, whole wheat flour, 3 eggs butter, olive oil and or canola oil I have also a lot of spices to choose from... Does anyone have any suggestions for a possible menu using only the ingredients listed? Remember that you need use only the ingredients that you wish to use from this list... Ready. Get set. Let the Contest begin. The one who comes up with a menu that I can use will get best response. All other participants will get good ratings... my promise. Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:33:13 GMT whiteheron http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1320446.aspx Last week we went to a small vegetarian retaurant in Melbourne for a fundraiser. One of the dishes served was comprised of chickpeas/garbanzo beans and spices and had Pita bread (Lebanese flatbread) either fried in some kind of butter or brushed with butter and baked and this was craushed and stirred through the chickpea/garbanzo bean mixture. It was topped with Lebneh (Middle Eastern type yogurt) I would LOVE to have a recipe for this dish. I am not a huge fan of pulses, but this was delicious! Does anyone have any ideas?

I do have a taste for them from time to time. I have got a ham bone and I am going to cook it in my beans, have you ever done this or what kind of meat do you use? I like beans with cornbread, I know people from other Countries don't like it or do you? I am just curious as to who likes beans. there have several kinds.
