I've made chickpeas for my wife (who loves them), and they smell rather unappetizing to me. They're certainly high up there in healthfulness, and if you soak them well, they tend to be less farty than other legumes. While I know that you feel that I indulge my son's food preferences too much, when he moves out I'm going to be making a lot of pureed and fried black beans. He prefers black beans whole, but I love them cooked for a long time in the pressure cooker with plenty of water. I discard the water, and puree them in the blender with fresh water, then fry them like pintos refritos. Done that way, they are very mild tasting, but they have a quality I can only describe as *rich*, more so than other beans. Discarding the boiling water from beans is the way to go in general. Whatever you lose nutritionally, you also get rid of the bad stuff, and the proteins stay pretty much intact. If I use canned beans, I rinse them, though now that I have the electric pressure cooker, I seldom used canned ones. Here's a helpful suggestion. Put the beans and water into a large Pyrex measuring cup, and put that into the pressure cooker with an inch or so of water bath. It makes cleanup far easier. Everything just goes into the dishwasher and comes our perfectly clean every time. -- --Bryan For your safety and protection, this sig. has been thoroughly tested on laboratory animals. |

The tempeh fermentation also makes the chickpeas/black beans etc easier to digest. The bad stuff is taken care of before you eat it. >While I know that you feel that I indulge my son's food preferences >too much It's none of my business, of course. I was mainly joking. >, when he moves out I'm going to be making a lot of pureed >and fried black beans.

Done that way, they are very >mild tasting, but they have a quality I can only describe as *rich*, >more so than other beans. I love black beans, both pan fried in olive oil and used as the base for tempeh. Yes, they can be very rich. -- The real Bruce posts with Eternal September |

Good for egg-salad sandwiches. Also good to put a crumbled one on a green salad. |

Without looking up the conversion, I added 2 (or maybe even 3) TBS of dried dill. Big mistake. Very dill overkill. I have used dill in any recipes since. lol One other time I put a lot of orange marmalade on chicken thighs as they were roasting. Very overkill. The marmalade took over any chicken flavor. Less is best with that one. |

If you don't make your own cheese, there's no reason to be adamant about making your own tempeh, especially if you have never had it before. Cindy Hamilton |

There's no "best" way. I like them marinated in a garlicky red-wine vinaigrette. Or in hummus. Or just thrown on a salad. Cindy Hamilton |

Hard boiled eggs are >great for backpacking and canoe trips. They stay good at whatever >temperature for days in a row. Pickled eggs can keep for a year and more, and need no refrigeration... fancy them with canned beet juice. Fritatta keeps well and is excellent, hot or cold. Made a dozen egg fritatta for dinner last night, half for tonight... added four left over diced saw-seege patty, 1/2 lb diced provalone. Can add anything to a fritatta... use your imagination... a great way to use left overs. Took a 3.5 lb top round roast from the freezer for dinner tomorrow, will marinate it in a zip-loc today; soy sauce, sesame oil, msg, white pepper, garlic, ginger, orange marmalade. |
