Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumWhat's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 12, 2019
The RG and I went to a big Chinese market which has some very good seafood and also an extensive vegetable section. I asked the RG to make a vegetable plate tonight, so here's what he came up with:
Eggplant sandwich over toasted walnut bread. Under the eggplant, which is cubed and sauteed with onion and herbs, is French 3 cheese spread over the bread. Alongside that is sliced basil and red pepper.
Broccoli rabe, sauteed with garlic and olive oil.
Cranberry beans, which we bought fresh this a.m. at that market. This he always cooks with a little salt pork.
He brought me 5 little boxes of chocolate from his stay at the Baccarat last week, so that will be dessert.

Living alone it can take quite a while to finish something.

Instructions-INGREDIENTS
Chickpeas
14.5 oz chickpeas, canned, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp harissa, ground or paste
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Salad
1/2 tsp harissa, ground or paste
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp olive oil
10 grape tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced, use Persian/Lebanese
2 tbsp olives, quartered
1/4 red onion, finely sliced
2 tbsp mint, finely chopped
2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
3 oz feta cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
CHICKPEAS
Preheat oven to 200F/400C
Drain, rinse and strain chickpeas. Pat dry with a piece of paper towel.
Combine chickpeas, olive oil, harissa and salt and pepper. Mix well.
Evenly lay out chickpeas onto a lined baking tray, and bake until golden and crunchy - about 30 minutes. Shake the baking tray every 10 minutes or so to ensure even cooking.
SALAD
Place halved tomatoes in a salad bowl with the lemon juice, salt and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of harissa. Leave to marinade until chickpeas are done.
Once chickpeas are cooled, combine cucumber, red onion, and chickpeas with the tomatoes.
Top with olives, feta and herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve
Thanks for that recipe!
It's been saved and we'll be making that dish!

In roasting canned chickpeas, patting them dry is impt & I wound up needing twice the time for the roasting in my toaster oven.

Cut it up and added cumin and lime while heating. Made a toppings bar of lime, cilantro, onion, pico de gallo (fresh homemade), and cheese.
Served the mini shells. Both corn and flour. Super yummy.
