@dobielar, the recipe I found for a garbanzo salad sandwich was on Allrecipes. Mashed canned garbanzo beans, chopped onions, lemon juice, mayo, fresh dill, S&P. I didn’t have any celery. Almost the same ingredients I’d use for a tuna or chicken salad sandwich.

@Jules do you also make hummus? I haven't for a while.
 

Pork carnitas from the freezer tonight in wraps for something quick.

We have to work at SIL house tomorrow so just made a boiled dressing potato salad with bacon for tomorrow to go with grilled burgers & slaw. He kitchen is still under renovation so no stove.

Would love to hear what everyone's up to in their kitchens. We already have threads where people post recipes, photos, or links to foods that look good but they themselves haven't tried, so let's try to avoid that here.

Cooking and baking tips are most welcome, too!

Yesterday I made the mushroom barley soup I found about 8 years ago on Tori Avey's site and and have made ever since. I quadruple the carrots & celery but otherwise make it according to her recipe. It's below if you want to try it. Lots of steps, but worth the effort.

Makes a big pot of hearty soup and leftovers freeze well.

Last night I made chick peas (garbanzos) with olive oil, tomatoes, fresh garlic, chopped onions, hot red pepper flakes, chopped fresh parsley...... over rotini pasta. Ate it for lunch, too.

Thinking about making chicken salad with mayo, celery, onion, raisins and tarragon for supper, with a side of broccoli.

@RadishRose and I must be thinking along the same lines with chick peas. Something I never thought of or knew existed, I made a garbanzo salad sandwich. It’s hard finding something for my husband’s sandwiches. Searched online and sure enough, there were recipes. He was happy with it.

Garbanzo beans get so overlooked, yet they're so good for you.

I'm intrigued by your garbanzo bean salad, how did you prepare it?
It's been awhile since I've made one.

Garbanzos are my favorite beans. Love this back and forth about them. I'm going to try making that garbanzo bean salad, @Jules.

@RadishRose, I make hummus because I prefer to control ingredients when I can and it's a whole lot cheaper to make than purchase.

Back when I still ate meat I had a great "Hawaiian Chicken" recipe, which was basically raw chicken, bottled Catalina dressing, drained canned peaches and pineapple, onion soup mix and some apricot preserves. Baked it until the chicken was cooked.

I now make it with tofu and garbanzo beans and made a couple other minor changes.

Really delicious, can pull it together with pantry ingredients in a jiffy, only needs heating because there's no raw meat, and everyone loves it - vegans, plant-based, vegetarians and omnivores alike.

There's some in my fridge right now. 😍

Ran the instant pot twice yesterday (1 lb of soaked garbanzos each time), giving me enough for four good sized batches of hummus. One I'll make up today, the other three are already stashed in the freezer in zip-lock bags.

While the IP is out, I'll make and freeze some brown rice (dog gets some with his BKs and dinners). Probably some quinoa after that and perhaps a pound of garbanzos (that I don't cook as long) for non-hummus use.

Those insta- pots are great. Homemade pea soup the other day took about 30 minutes cooking time …. 10 minutes pressure release.
Can you freeze hummus?
I’ve made my own before but I’m the only one who eats it so a lot gets thrown out. I’ve never tried freezing it but maybe I can.

Sure can! It also lasts at least a couple of weeks in the fridge, too.

If you freeze it, just defrost in the fridge and give it a stir.
