Green Garbanzo Hummus #SundaySupper

17 | 03 | 2013
By Soni Sinha

So my obsession with Green Garbanzo continues with my second recipe and this time I’ve made a delicious Hummus!!All it needs is a few minutes in the microwave and its ready to be used. l love the texture and the lovely green color that just brightens up your party platter!It even ties with our spring theme this #SundaySupper!

I’ve combined these with garlic and some EVOO and you just can’t beat the flavors!The Garbanzos are a little dry and need some water to help puree them but the result is fantastic!It takes minutes to make and is the perfect alternative to the traditional humus and more healthier since its full of vitamins and fiber!Serve it with pita or tortilla chips and you have one easy appetizer dip that’s different and so tasty 🙂

Curried Green Garbanzo Lettuce Cups (or Wraps)

13 | 03 | 2013
By Soni Sinha

I’m very excited about today’s recipe!Of late I’ve been working a lot with Green Garbanzos ever since I discovered them in the frozen section at Whole Foods!The new ‘Super Food’ to hit the American markets, they are super delicious,high in fiber,protein,vitamins,iron and are heart healthy!They have a lovely nutty flavor and since they’re already blanched and then frozen,they take no time to cook.They’re a freezer staple in my house and have become my newest obsession 🙂

A curried version sounded fantastic and I started off by steaming these in the microwave for about 2 minutes.I’ve added scallions instead of onions since I love the flavor and the lovely color and the combination sounded wonderful!Once it was ready,another idea popped up!Why not serve them in lettuce cups instead of rice.It would taste really good on top of some crunchy Ice Berg lettuce that I luckily had in my fridge 🙂 I absolutely loved the flavors and got a thumbs up from the hubby too 🙂

Its a great alternative to chickpeas or peas in any dish and makes for a tasty and filling lunch or dinner!I’ve used Coconut Oil and curry powder along with some mustard seeds and toasted coconut and the whole dish barely takes 10 minutes to come together!You can eat it in a wrap or as a side dish with an Indian Inspired meal or as a salad on its own!A healthy low carb dish that’s full of delicious flavors!
