The other day, I made a Chili from the Vegetarian Times Web site, but with 1 package of Yves Meatless Ground Meat instead of 2 packages of seitan, and ate it with Smart Dogs as Chili dogs. I've eaten this for the past 3 days. Yum. Eating normal food, but vegetarian is great.
My CSA had a bunch of cilantro and parsley and I've been DYING to make these lentil snacks, so I decided to the lentil snacks as falafels and make pita sandwiches. The parsley would be used to make tabbouleh and the cilantro would be used to make hummus.
But one problem was that after making the chili, I had no more canned beans. I had some dried garbanzo beans, which i thought would be perfect, but i only had about 1/4 c when I decided to make the hummus.
White beans to the rescue. And I have been wanting to try this "No Soak, 90 minute" bean recipe, which intrigued me.
So in went the beans, salt, water. Brought it a boil for 15 minutes and into the oven for 75 minutes. At 45 minutes, I checked the water level. Meanwhile, I made the tabbouleh, lentil snacks, and then finally, the hummus, once the beans were done.
And were they done. The no-soak method is amazing. I'm so glad for it.
Now with the pita bread, I have a feast waiting for me for dinner!
