slow cooker.

Although I've made hummus with canned garbanzo beans a bunch of times, recently, I decided to experiment with a dried variety. The resulting hummus was delicious and incredibly rich with a perfect texture. Using the dried beans seemed to make it fuller and more luxurious than other any other hummus.
In many vegetarian recipes, mushrooms are used similarly to meat. They're marinated, grilled, sautéed, broiled, and turned into burgers. Like mushrooms, eggplant is an incredibly versatile vegetable that can be prepared using many culinary techniques.

Here's the scenario: you are at home and hungry. You have to cook up something scrumptious for you and your boyfriend/girlfriend/ spouse/child/friend, but the ingredients you have on hand are limited.
You have a package of pita, a can of garbanzo beans, and black olives.
The other day I made a
variation of tomato soup that included garbanzo beans. Below is another pureed version of the legume. It's normally served as a dip, do you know what it's called?
This week I was in the mood for something classically comforting but unordinary at the same time. I decided to make a kicked-up version of
tomato soup. What makes this recipe different?
You can buy hummus just about anywhere these days, but nothing compares to the taste when it's freshly made. And it's really easy to make - the hardest part is buying all of the ingredients.
What You'll Need:
- 1 can of garbanzo beans (chick peas)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced (you can always use more)
- 1 - 2 tbsp tahini (it's made out of ground up sesame seeds)
- Juice from 1/3 of a lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Place all of the ingredients in a blender for a few minutes, or until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Spinach went from being one of ‘the healthiest foods you could eat’ to ‘the throw it all out as fast as you can’ foods. In case another media crazed E-Coli outbreak surfaces, we're going to have to find other ways to get that Iron, as spinach was (and still is) one of the best plant sources of getting this mineral.
For further ideas on how to get your Iron,
Eat more foods rich in Iron, such as:
- Meat, such as Beef, Pork or Lamb
- Liver, if you can stomach it
- Cereals, such as Total and Cream of Wheat
- Potatos, with the skin still on
- Beans, such as Garbanzo Beans
Fit's Tip: To further enhance your absorption of Iron, pair foods high in Iron with foods high in Vitamin C, like bell peppers--the Vitamin C helps absorb more Iron into your body.
