Garbanzo Beans
It's a Bird, It's a Cow...No! It's Seitan!
What the heck is seitan (say-tahn), anyway?! It's the Japanese term for cooked wheat gluten, which is high in protein and low in fat and like tofu, takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in. To me, it has the same taste and texture as chicken but has 22 grams of protein and only 1.5 grams of fat per serving!! Ingredients: Water, Wheat Gluten, Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Wheat, Salt), Garbanzo Bean Flour, Soy Flour, Lime Juice Concentrate, Honey, Cumin, Granulated Garlic, Xanthan Gum, Natural Liquid Smoke, Cayenne Pepper.

This is the basic recipe, you can change it by adding roasted peppers or sun dried tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS:
4 garlic cloves, mashed
2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
salt to taste
- If you want to cook your chickpeas, soak them overnight and then cook in water with a dash of oil to soften them, for about 2 hours, don't add salt until they are cooked because that will make them tough.
Put all ingredients minus salt in food processor.

I have been obsessed with making hummus lately. Unfortunately, my first attempt was miserable as I couldn't find tahini (sesame paste) anywhere. I found this recipe on foodtv.com (it's Alton's) and it's wonderful.
