Garbanzo beans

[Guest guest]

I just cover them with water about an inch or inch and half above the beans in

the crockpot. Leave them on low overnight and in the morning - Voila! Beans!

     Oooh!  That sounds good--chickpeas and sweet potatoes!  I don't know just

what kind of flavor it would have (for a hummus), but it sounds sweet and I

imagine it's a pretty, bright-orange color!  Do you use FRESH beans for it? I

would love to try FRESH garbanzo beans (chick peas) sometime--I have never even

seen them before.  That sounds interesting, as I love fresh baby (green) lima

beans--or even frozen baby green limas.  They remind me of edamame, which I

love!

 

Peace!

Mmm...I think I'm going to go mash up some garbanzos and goodies and make

hummus. (Before ya'll ask, I toss cooked, drained garbanzo's, olive oil, a

cooked and peeled sweet potato, some garlic and whatever else I have on hand

into the food processor and whir it around. Just eyeball the amounts and go by

taste/smell/texture.)

The original hummus with sweet potato recipe is here in the files (somewhere)

and two of our grandsons will clean the entire bowl of it, even if all they have

to dip is their fingers. I've used fresh, dried and canned garbanzos in it and

it is wonderful anyway its made.

 

You're right, it is gorgeous! The nutty taste of the chick peas contrasts with

the sweet of the sweet potato and I know I've used roasted red peppers in it now

and then as well.

 

I'm not sure who first posted it but I can safely say that it is one of those

things I usually keep all the ingredients on hand for. I've got gut problems and

hummus (especially this one) has saved me more than once.

 

I keep it in the fridge with plastic wrap touching the top to keep it from

getting crusty on those rare times when it isn't devoured within an hour of

making.

 

Oh, I forgot - sometimes I'll spread it on a flour tortilla, top with reheated

Spanish rice and salsa for a quick meal. It's good as a filling in cherry

tomatoes, too. Yum, Jeanne in GA
