Re: Garbanzo bean salad or Hummus

[Guest guest]

I have to agree about the raw hummus or Bean salad.

2 things i I have found: 1. - dont over soak/sprout - it distorts the

flavor! 2. - lightly

steam until they are tender and then wait for them to cool and drain ( a few

hours in the

fridge); for some reason they work better?

For hummus, they seem to work better if they are not right out of the steam,

because they

are sort of " drier " and i can process them down to a smaller meal before adding

liquids.

with bean salad, sort of the same deal. If they are right out of the steam,

they are already

sort of wet and cannot soak up as much liquid to marinate and get soft.

It took a few icky batches till i got it right. In fact i am going to try a

batch tomorrow

(cleansing - so store bought is out of the question right now)
