Just cook the garbanzo (chickpeas) like ant other bean. Soak at the least, overnight, changing the water a-couple times while they soak and your watching “The Bachelor” or whatever on the television and then cookem low and slow, or is it slow and low? Anyway it shouldn’t matter, just cook them like you would any other bean. Recently I made a wonderful ground beef chili that had so many types of beans we doubled up the beans and sauce that we froze lots to add beef to in the future. It contains at the least;
Pinto beans
White beans
Kidney beans
Garbanzo bean
Lentils
Black beans
A smaller amount of Navy beans
and this is not the full list of the different types of beans put in that freezer food.
Soak 6-10 hours
Slow cook low 6-10 hours
Final cooking fluid I think should be a broth. I’d go with a beef type for flavor or chicken for flavor and salt!
You sure do like your beans. My vegetarian son would eat beans every single day if he could. So that is a good recipe. Except for the chicken and beef stock. He would kill me and or refuse to eat it if there was any meat products in it.

All beans and peas are legumes, including chickpeas and peanuts! They’re all high protein and high fibre. They’re very good for you.

Peas and lentils are about 15 percent carbohydrate which is pretty low. Chickpeas are about 60 percent.
Hmmm. So the lentils and peas are a better choice then.

People do them from scratch here. Takes ages.
Baked beans too.
They only started selling beans in a tin last year and it's still only one supermarket.
Oh Wow. In SA most of that kind of stuff are in tins. Only those people who are eating clean would go to the trouble of making everything from scratch. As they want to make sure that they know exactly what is going into their food.

Holy Crhow ! Is Adam aware we’re casually posting about NON-CHEESE foods in the CDR? I’m getting some shut eye. Really don’t want to be around when he catches wind of it all. LOL
Adam is always advocating bean substrate so I think we are in the realm of acceptable conversation topics.[emoji6]

A balanced diet includes carbohydrate. Chickpeas are fine!

The problem most veggies have is with iron intake. The legumes aren’t so good for that.

I wouldn’t let a child be veggie without insisting on a daily vitamin and mineral supplement. They’re generally too picky and growing too fast.

And if he won’t eat things let him go hungry! Few boys will deliberately starve themselves. They’re like tortoises! [emoji849]

Lol. Oh he does take vitamin supplements. I also bought a meal replacement shake for him to take to school which has all the necessary vitamins he needs. He has now been vegetarian for a year and a half. I had his blood tested in January and the only thing he was low on was the vitamin B. Which he is now taking extea supplements for. But yes I agree he does eat things when I insist. I have threatened him that if he cannot eat properly as a vegetarian then I will put him back on meat. Soooo he has a choice, he either eats correctly or there will be world wide war in our house.

I believe Hans used to write stories about birds and things freezing to death in the winter in Denmark.
Just buy those hamburgers your daughter was expecting and dress up in lederhosen and she'll never know the difference.
Dress up in lederhosen ?????:mad:
What do you think about Hamburger ( people ) ??? :confused: If you would wear lederhosen in Hamburg you will be the attraction of all people there. :D They will think you are crazy.... :D
Lederhosen belong to Bavarian people and they wear them not often and not always.:D

Oops, I’ve just managed to find them after turning my entire wardrobe upside down. I’d better put them back in :oops:
Ich bin ein Hamburger ;)

Lederhosen, huh? Let me dig out a pair.

(An elderly woman who’d had dementia froze to death this morning in our town park. It’s very sad and shocking.)

On a more cheerful note, I’m chilling some Godmé champagne named probably after our Sabine. It’s blanc de noirs (made from Pinot Noir grapes), which makes it more rich and full-bodied than a typical Chardonnay champagne. (Picked up the bottle at my wine tasting two weeks ago.)
Why named after me ???
