Date: August 15, 2006 08:27PM My second batch of sprouts which are chickpeas will be ready tomorrow and I wonder if anyone has any good recipe ideas.
Also, as I'm new to this, any other recipes would be gratefully received. thanks Dawn Re: any recipes for chickpeas, or anything for that matter

You can make hummas with them. Also you could make a chana masala. I posted a Chana Masala recipe to this thread: [www.rawfoodsupport.com] I bet they could be made into falafel as well. Some people have recommend blanching the sprouted chickpeas for a minute in hot water to make them taste better, although I've not tried this (something about it seems not raw). Good luck, Ian.

Date: August 16, 2006 09:47PM THank you for that Ian. I got some tahini paste and made hummus.
But how can you eat them raw but not sprouted? Do you mean soaked for 12 or 24 hours? Will this do then? Dawn Re: any recipes for chickpeas, or anything for that matter

Date: August 16, 2006 11:06PM When I have fresh beans, I just eat them without sprouting them. They are really quite soft and sweet (and green) straight from the shell. This is pretty much the only way I can eat chickpeas, I don't like the taste of sprouted dry beans.
How did the hummus turn out? Cheers, Ian. Re: any recipes for chickpeas, or anything for that matter

They sound nice fresh, if I could get them. The hummus was OK and there's more for tonight. I think I put too much garlic in though. I tend to cook a lentil dish and then put lots of salads and bits on the table. I eat just the raw and my 2 small children have the lentils and take what they want of salad. They didn't want any hummus yesterday, but I was pleasantly surprised that my 4 year old now likes raw spinach, and kept wanting more and more. I don't think he likes it cooked.

Date: August 18, 2006 06:44PM Hi Dawn,
Last winter I was sprouting chickpeas and made crackers out of them. I ground them with flaxseed and put some other stuff like herbs or garlic (and a little water of course) to make a nice cracker dough. This tastes really good. I also made hummus but found it has a bitter taste in the end. Although experimenting with adding dates for example to make the taste 'softer' helped. I am curious about the fresh chickpeas and wonder where I could find them. Never seen them. Good luck! Sabine Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
