(image credit) It is snowing outside, which made it a great day for this soup. It was fantastic. I made it with chickpeas I’d cooked in the pressure cooker — 4 cups cooked, added a bit of the cooking water to a pot with the onion that I’d fried a bit, a bit more water,Continue reading “Greek Chickpea soup recipe (Revithia)”

Vegan Meringue (Airy and Perfect!)
(image credit) My 14-year-old daughter made these meringue cookies with our hand mixer, and we can’t stop eating them. She said were really easy to make, and is planning to make them again 🙂
Healing Lemongrass Chickpea Thai Green Curry
(image credit) I really liked this Thai-inspired curry and would want to make it again but my other eaters were a little less enthusiastic — they liked it but they weren’t blown away. We did all think the chickpeas went really well with the other flavors. I’d never cooked with lemongrass before, and this stumpedContinue reading “Healing Lemongrass Chickpea Thai Green Curry”
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
(image credit) You have to admit this is a good-looking cookie. Alas I the flavour wasn’t great, I think the peanut butter was distracting. Mixing the melted chocolate into smashed chickpeas worked pretty well though, so maybe I could add some butter instead of the peanut butter? Does feel like it has promise. I amContinue reading “Double Chocolate Chip Cookies”
Chickpea Salad With Lemon, Parmesan, and Fresh Herbs
(image credit) In contrast to two other fantastic salads this week (one, two), this one was disappointing. Was it because I’d used canned chickpeas instead of dry ones that I’d lovingly cooked in my pressure cooker? (4 cups water + 1.5 tsp salt for every cup of chickpeas, 61 minutes on high then natural release)Continue reading “Chickpea Salad With Lemon, Parmesan, and Fresh Herbs”
Pasta e Ceci (Italian Chickpea Soup)
(image credit) John made a Pasta e Ceci that was more of a soup and included greens and basil. It was good, but didn’t have the magic of the version we’d made a week ago.
Orange Spice Garbanzo Cake
(image credit the author, CC0) Made this spice cake. It was fantastic. There was a package of edible flowers for sale in my grocery store so I bought them for decoration and it was lovely. The cake was a little too flat, partly because I used a 8×11 pan instead of the recommended 8×8. IContinue reading “Orange Spice Garbanzo Cake”
Chickpea Salad (lemon, cucumber, tomato, feta, avocado)
(image credit) Today’s chickpea salad was also delicious, maybe even better than yesterday’s. Cucumber instead of lettuce, lemon instead of balsamic vinegar, otherwise much the same. Will definitely make this again.
Balsamic Chickpea, Avocado, + Feta Salad
(image credit) This chickpea salad was delicious, and really easy to make. Will make again.
Chickpea Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
(image credit the author CC0) Growing up my mum often made cookies — we used to laugh they were so packed full of healthy things they hardly held together. I was hungry for those again, so I modified this recipe to include rolled oats, subbed the chocolate chips for raisins (sacrilege I know), added someContinue reading “Chickpea Oatmeal Raisin Cookies”
