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

5-A-Day Bulgur Wheat Salad

Mon, 14 May 2007 21:42:50 -0400

Found this on a diabetic website while surfing for healthy salads to make ahead and take to work. Since my Mom developed Diabetes I have an interest in finding healthier recipes to put into our diets. You could really add or substitute just about any vegetable you wanted. Bulgur comes from wheat. It is actually the kernel of wheat, cracked for cooking. It has a nutty, chewy flavor, and contains fiber. Olive Oil is a healthy choice for vegetable oil. This recipe is fiber rich and full of Vitamins and Py! -- posted by Little Bee

Fresh Three-Bean Salad

Tue, 29 May 2007 12:52:48 -0400

A classic 3-bean salad using fresh green and wax beans. I use Westbreae Organic Salad Beans instead of just kidney beans for the canned beans. It is a mix of kidney, pinto and garbanzo beans. I guess that makes this a 5 bean salad... I suggest eating this on the same day. This is still tasty the next day, but the color of the green beans will change over time. Please note that the cooking time includes the 1 hour of marinating. -- posted by Wu & Newt

Quick, Creamy Hummus Spread

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 13:27:18 -0400

When I want hummus that is more of a dip consistency I use plain yogurt. When I want it to be more of a spread, I use light cream cheese for a richer effect. It can all be made in a blender, and is the quickest side dish that we repeatedly make. -- posted by La Gourmande

Chickpea Salad

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

Warm Chickpea Salad

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:20:16 -0400

I've been trying to include more beans into our diet recently. This is a great warm salad for fish or chicken. Leftovers are great reheated too. If you dont like chillies-no problem just leave them out (although to add some extra flavour in place of the chillies ,you might like to add some extra lemon juice, salt and pepper). Serves 4. You can use cannelini or any other white bean in place of the chickpeas. Serve with lemon wedges. For gluten-free or cegetarian-check stock is suitable for your diet -- posted by **Jubes**

Hummus (Or Humus) - Authentic

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 02:36:28 -0400

This is the BEST hummus / humus recipe I've ever made. It tastes just like the hummus that is served at Middle Eastern restaurants and has had all my friends raving. I've tried lots of hummus recipes in my quest for the best and I believe this is the one. It was given to my by a work colleague who said she's always inundated for the recipe after people have tried it. One important note - don't substitute canned for dried chickpeas- it won't work! I did this the first time I made it and it was too salty. It's a little bit of extra effort/preparation - but using dried chickpeas guarantees the right combination of flavours. The amounts below make large serving of the dip - you can easily halve or quarter the amounts and still get a delicious result. -- posted by amanda l b

Easy Punjabi-Style Chickpea and Potatoes

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:06:25 -0400

I came up with this when I was in the mood for spicy potatoes, and immediately thought of my favorite side dish at the Jackson Diner buffet. This is a great sidedish but I also like it as a main meal too, with some rice or naan. Green peas would work in this recipe too, either as a third main ingredient or to replace the chickpeas, but I love the richness of the chickpeas and couldn't get over not only how close it was to Indian restaurant quality, but also how simple and quick it was to make! By accident better yet! You'll find it hard to believe it's homemade and from canned food better yet. The taste is very hot and spicy, and what I love the most is the way the kick sneaks up on you after a minute! :) Important note-- I created this dish by accident so I just ballparked the spices before tweaking measurements. This yields about 4 cups (I'd have about a 2-cup serving with one more leftover for the next day), so if you're planning on a potluck, larger amount to cook for your family, OAWC/OAMC, etc. you might want to use the multiplier on here to figure out the correct proportions for the ingredients. -- posted by the80srule

Date and Chickpea Cous Cous

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:21:10 -0500

This was a throw together I made one night that turned out brilliantly. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste... just remember the stock and cous cous should be equal quantities. Great blend of sweet, sour and spicy. It's quick, filling, nutritious and will keep for a few days in the fridge - nice cold as well. To make vegan just omit butter. -- posted by Malaliu

Nice side dish. You can use any kind of bean you like. I have used white, kidney and black eye peas as well as ceci ceci beans they all work well. This is so simple yet so good. -- posted by Brenda Marby
