Steamed Chickpeas Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 lb dried chickpeas (garbanzos)
8 cup water
1 tsp salt garlic salt
Recipe
Preparation
Soak chickpeas for 6 hours in water. Pour off water. Steam
chickpeas, for approximately 1 hour, maybe more, until tender and yet
chewy. Do not overcook to mushiness. Drain thoroughly, cool and
sprinkle with salt and garlic salt.
I used a rice steamer and the flavor of the chickpeas is totally
different (almost like a peanut) from the canned or the usual boiled
flavor. They were just del icious!
So just out of curiosity, I tried steaming a small handful of several
different beans, altogether (small red, kidney, black beans, lima,
navy, adzuki, pinto). (By the way, soak black beans separately, they
stain the white beans a very attractive shade of gray!) Same result!
I ended up just snacking on them by the handful. I never even got far
enough to use them for soup or something, they were so good by
themselves! This will be great for summer when it's too hot to cook!
Try experimenting with different spices (cumin, red pepper, cajun,
italian etc.). I will probably never use canned or simmered beans
again, if I can help it. I'm definitely not a cooking purist, but the
difference with this steaming method is enormous! From Fatfree Digest

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tips
If you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make low carb breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods.
While you can sometimes buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by using reduced carbohydrate bread. Simply toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in the oven on a sheet of cookie paper. When it is well browned, grind it in your blender. Store in an airtight jar or container.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, collard greens and tomato puree)
These orange and green natural foods are rich in carotenes believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program.
