Bean sprouts? - - - Chickpea & roasted garlic

[Guest guest]

Does anyone here have experience with sprouted beans?

I just started doing it.. I can tell everyone about chickpeas (below)..

And I do believe I like chickpeas better than regular chickpeas..

The people selling then say they are healthier (info here)..

www.sproutpeople.com

www.sprouthouse.com

 

For chickpeas (probably the easiest one), soak overnight,

then drain and rinse until water looks and smells clear (usually 1 or

2 quick rinses)..

DRAIN WELL.. 2x per day.. By day 2 or 3 they are ready to eat..

Eat when they smell good (there will be a shoot maybe 1 / 4 inch long)..

They say its OK to eat raw after the overnight soak,

but I like to boil chickpeas for 10 or 15 min (to taste;; you can eat

these raw so there is no problem tasting anytime)..

 

Do not use any old bean to sprout.. They use chemicals to stop

sprouting.. Best to get beans specifically for sprouting..

Do not eat " any " bean raw (even after sprouting, some contain toxins,

and need to be cooked)..

 

 

 

 

 

MY RECIPE:

 

Easy quick recipe uses only beans, lime, olive oil, salt pepper (the

optional ingredients below add time)..

 

Start roasting garlic..

300 deg.. cut garlic to expose the clove, wrap in tin foil.. remove

from oven immediately when it smells great.. and take out of any

metal to stop garlic from over cooking)..

 

sprouted chickpeas..

cilantro or parsley..

lime or lemon..

Onion/tomato if desired..

Salt/pepper..

Olive oil..

Avocado (optional too)

Roasted sesame seeds..

 

Boil chickpeas to taste.. When done strain (not rinse).. Put in a

bowl.. Mash up if desired (I use a small specialty masher.. kind of

a lot of work, but I cook for one.. otherwise maybe use a food

processor would be the thing to use).. Add a little water, olive oil,

lime (etc) to make a little liquid so when mashing the beans it turns

into a sauce (you do not have to mash up all the means).. After

mashing up as desired, add whatever you chose as options, stir all

together, salt pepper and lime to taste..

 

TIPS:

Be careful to use good tasting limes (I taste mine).. Can ruin the

whole dish.. And too much lime is also a tricky point.. I pour raw

sesame seeds into a hot pan and roast until they smell and look right..
