Beans are very inexpensive and offer a lot of nutritional value. Garbanzo beans, also known as chick peas, are one of my favourites. Just one half cup offers 5 g of fibre and 7 grams of protein.
Here's a great recipe for something I can't get enough of: Hummus or Chick-Pea Spread
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
1 cup canned chick-peas, drained and rinsed in cold water
¼ cup water
¾ tsp garlic, crushed
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
Combine chick-peas, water, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and tahini in a food processor until smooth in texture.
Transfer to either a serving dish, and garnish with parsely. Serve it immediately as a dip for vegetable sticks. Or, to use later, transfer it to a tight sealing container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I also use it to mix in with some canned tuna or salmon. Enjoy.
