Papadams

Tue, 08 Jan 2002 09:42:25 -0500

Found this recipe on the Net in response to a request. Here's what the recipe said: "Papadams are delicious, spicy Indian crackers that traditionally require many ingredients and take days to make. They are prepared ahead in quantity and deep fried just before serving. This is a simplified version. It still requires time, but the results are worth it.

Middle Eastern Summer Salad

This is one of my new favorite things to eat. If I want to make this non-dairy I just use some Tofutti sour cream. Prep and cooking time are if using dried chickpeas. If using canned chickpeas the time is minimal. -- posted by Mirj

Curried Carrot-Hummus Crab Cakes

Wed, 18 Jun 2003 20:04:01 -0400

Yummy yummy. Wholesome crab cakes. The only "filler" in this are pureed carrots, chickpeas, scallions, and asparagus. Not much bread-action going on, but plenty of flavor. Cook time accounts for cooking option 1 (skillet). Prep accounts for chopping. RSC4 -- posted by nomnom

Spicy Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummous

Fri, 04 Jul 2003 19:59:48 -0400

Cool Couscous Toss

Thu, 21 Aug 2003 20:04:59 -0400

A light and yummy chilled couscous-based salad. Perfect for summer because it's no fuss! I titled it a "toss" instead of a salad because it can stand alone as a cool light vegetarian entree. It can also be served as a side dish. You could add diced cheese and or/salami if you'd like to make it heartier. Perfect for a pot luck or picnic because it won't spoil if it sits out a while and it's still delicious served at room temperature. Cook time includes chill time...it's even better if allowed to sit overnight in the refrigerator. You can easily vary the canned veggies based on what you have in your pantry. -- posted by SaraFish

Spinach-Garlic-Edamame Hummus

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 20:00:44 -0500

Whipped this up tonight since we have been a bit vegetable deficient lately. I LOVE hummus, as does my fiancé, so I thought this would be perfect. It turned out really well. This is based on my Lebanese friend's recipe for hummus--she is religious about hummus and tabbouleh, so I know I have the basic recipe down pat!! :-) Be sure to adjust anything you want; it is possible to make hummus more low in fat by reducing the amount of tahini or olive oil you add, and if you hate edamame, then omit it. Just make it up with water, stock, or the liquid from the can of garbanzo beans. IT occurs to me that this would be perfect for St Patrick's Day....it's completely green, with all the spinach and edamame. -- posted by spatchcock

Mediterranean Chickpea Latkes

Mirj's Hummous Variation

Mon, 02 Feb 2004 20:01:00 -0500

I came up with this version of hummous tonight and I am very pleased with it. This is a great carb meal for Somersizers with some toasted whole wheat pita or bread. You can vary the amounts of garlic and pepper to suit your taste, and add whatever spices you like. -- posted by Mirj

Roasted Chickpeas

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 20:01:51 -0500

I make this a lot. Great as a snack, you can give it any flavour you like by using different spices. When I am in a hurry I make it from canned chickpeas, otherwise I use dried chickpeas. Cooking time does not include soaking and cooking dried chickpeas. -- posted by Chef Dudo

Crock Pot Chulnt

Tue, 09 Aug 2005 18:27:58 -0400

Rice With Chickpeas

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 12:24:12 -0400

This is a favorite of mine, and my friends really like it. The fried chickpeas have a firmer texture than boiled ones. The original recipe that I have calls for making everything from scratch, even the tomato sauce that you top it with! I save time by getting canned chickpeas. Sometimes I prepare it without garlic as an unobtrusive side dish. -- posted by Valeria

Chickpea and Tuna Salad

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 20:57:46 -0400

Found this in Lidia Italy at Home, and it looks easy so how can it be bad with these ingredients? For a taste of it on a bruschetta grill slices of country bread. Allow for cooling time. Update - I made this again the other night and use crushed red pepper flakes instead of black pepper and I too reduced the amount of oil that I used.Also, served it with avocado slices(drizzled with lime juice)on the side. Delicious! -- posted by Manami

Big Hit Couscous Salad

Tue, 27 Jun 2006 22:20:20 -0400

A bit of chopping, but easy to make this cold, healthy one-dish meal -- perfect for hot summer nights. Great picnic or potluck dish, also. The large amounts of parsley and dill really make the dish, but they arent overpowering. I brought this dish to a picnic for my family, but our friends kept eating it also, especially the kids hence its name. This dish doubles easily for a large crowd. -- posted by Dorie's Lori

Tunisian Tomato Soup With Chickpeas and Lentils

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 17:02:10 -0400

A variation on a Molly Katzen recipe I found on the Internet. Though the spices are quite different, the basic ingredients -- tomatoes, lentils and chickpeas -- remind me of the popular Moroccan soup called harrira. Have not yet tried this one but as fall comes, this will certainly make an appearance in my soup pot. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Gingery Marinated Chickpeas

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 21:02:20 -0500

This is best when made several days before eaten. Put on top of salad greens, or on mixed with hot rice. You may use canned chick peas for this. I got this from an old notebook which I had written recipes in a long time ago. I suspect it comes from Moosewood cookbook. Prep time does not include cooking of chickpeas. -- posted by Sharon123

Tomato and Basil Hummus

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 21:00:48 -0500

I read about this on slashfood.com, one of my favorite food blogs. It was offered up as a good dip for the Superbowl, but I can vouch that it's good even for those of us who don't watch the game. I had to try this out and it was a success, served as an appetizer with Moroccan cigars (you don't smoke them, you eat them, silly) and lots of fresh pita. -- posted by Mirj

Double-Bean Pasta With Tomatoes

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 23:23:46 -0400

On Sundays I cook with weekday lunches in mind, favoring big pots of tasty dishes that reheat well in the microwave at work. This low-fat, whole grain, high-fiber and vegan pasta dish is full of some of my favorite foods - Green beans, chickpeas and pasta. Mmm. Nutritional yeast adds B-12 and other vitamins and a slightly cheesy taste, though folks who love cheese can try parmesan or Romano instead. Bob's Red Mill and Red Star brands of nutritional yeast are both gluten-free. I use a Tinkyada's Gluten-Free Spirals, but you can use regular rotelle / fusilli if you prefer. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Sesame Garbanzo Cucumber Salad

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:32:51 -0400

When I was pregnant several summers ago, I loved this light, cool salad. It is meant to be a side dish for 4-6, but my husband and I ate it as a main dish for 2. Cook time does not include 15 minutes marinating time. -- posted by Serah B.

Pureed Chickpea Vinaigrette

Tue, 01 May 2007 11:43:59 -0400

This combination of Oriental flavors can be used on everything from chicken, asparagus, avocado, sautéed veal cutlets, etc. It is from the Supermarket Epicure cookbook and I haven't tried it yet. I like the way it sounds with such easy preparation and ingredients I keep stocked in my pantry. -- posted by Oolala

Freely adapted version of Joy of Cooking's 'Chickpeas with couscous'. Note the lack of couscous. You can vary the amounts of the different spices to taste. Serve with rice, couscous or bread. Number of servings is for a main dish. If serving as a side dish, it will serve 4-6 comfortably. -- posted by Rachel Savage

Awful Falafel

Sat, 19 May 2007 21:56:32 -0400

Don't let the name fool you! these are really tasty and good for you. I used this name because when we went to Israel one of our traveling buddies said he would never eat anything that sounds like awful and he called them Awful Falafels, but it is he that missed out. This is as authentic to the ones in Israel as I could find. -- posted by TERRY DAVIS in Summerville, SC.

Chickpea Salad

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 02:12:13 -0400

In our little Israeli reastaurant around the corner they serve this wonderful hummus with in the middle a couple of tablespoons of slightly warm chickpea salad. At first I thought, chickpeas with chickpeas? But believe me, it's great. I gathered all my confidence and asked for the recipe for the salad. Have made it many times at home since then and serve it not only with hummus but as a side dish or just as a salad for lunch. Can be eated warm or cold. -- posted by Chef Dudo

Lemony Chickpea Stir-Fry (Vegan and Yum)

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:56:26 -0400

I found this recipe a few days ago on one of my foodie blogs, made it almost immediately, and I now have a new favorite. I'll be making this many times over until I'm sick of it, if that can be possible. Many years ago I used to be a vegan and went carnivore, but if I had had this around, I might have stuck with it a little longer. I alter the recipe here and there, and have posted a few changes. The original recipe states that this is for 4, but I could just graze on this all day long. -- posted by Mirj

3 Bean Soup

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:37:45 -0400

I threw this together from wanting minestrone but not having celery or zucchini, and not being sure about throwing ditalini into the crockpot overnight - would that suck up too much water, or not cook well? This is what happened, and it's worth repeating. You might want to add more bullion or a different flavor (beef or mushroom instead of chicken?). -- posted by Chef aVivaSedai

The Simplest Bean Burgers (Mark Bittman)

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:01:00 -0500

This is based on a recipe from Mark Bittman's cookbook, "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food". You can choose whatever beans you prefer. When made with chickpeas, they're golden brown and lovely; with black beans, much darker; with red, somewhere in between. Lentils give you a slightly grainy texture. If you start with beans you've cooked yourself-especially well-seasoned ones-the results will be even better. Like almost all veggie burger mixtures, these will hold together a little better if you refrigerate them first (ideally you'd refrigerate both before and after shaping, but that's only if you have the time). If you use the soy flakes rather than rolled oats, it will be higher in protein.. -- posted by blucoat

Vegetable Fritto Misto With Lemon Mayonnaise

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 22:13:57 -0500

Recipe is by Giada De Laurentiis. I haven't seen the show it was on since we don't have cable tv anymore. Food TV is about the only thing I really miss. I did alter her recipe a bit to add an egg wash. I tried it without it and the flour just fell off in the oil. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Artichoke, Garbanzo, & Spinach Pasta Salad

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:49:46 -0500

This is an old standby that we use here at the "home" and amazingly, the residents, eat it but they leave out a little of the spinach. Found this in a drawer with the ingredient quantities, as we use more of each, but I don't know from where it came. This is easy and with some chicken and some fruit, the meal is complete. Didn't account for chilling time. -- posted by Manami

Joan Nathan's Favorite Falafel

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:50:47 -0500

From Joan Nathan's cookbook, " The Foods of Israel Today". She created this recipe after sampling many different falafels and interviewing the people who made them. You can make an Egyptian version by omitting the cilantro and substituting fava beans for the chickpeas. To make this truly "Israeli-style", garnish with tahina sauce (made from ground sesame seeds), harissa hot sauce, pickled turnip, or sauerkraut. In fact, all types of pickled fruits and vegetables (including regular dill pickles, eggplant, mango) work really well! If you can't find tahina sauce, you can serve with hummus or a yogurt sauce. Chickpeas need to soak overnight, and chickpeas mixture must be refrigerated for a few hours. -- posted by blucoat
