Today's Chick pea salad

Post by ChrisGreaves »

I boiled the chick peas last night, left them, boiled and strained, in a lidded bowl.
Lunch time:
Large mixing bowl.
  • A handful of purple cabbage, shredded in the shredder with A shake of ground black pepper.
  • A handful of cold boiled rice (I make a batch, as in chick peas etc)
  • A handful of boiled, cooled chick peas
  • Half-a-handful of sultana raisins
Mix the stuff in the bowl.

1/4 cup bottled lemon juice + 1/4 cup vegetable oil, shaken violently in a screw-cap jar (I was thinking of someone at the time; I find that always helps me to mix oil and anything)

Dribble some of the dressing over the contents of the bowl.
Mix again and eat with a spoon.
(Thinks: Must get my Cooking site back up and running .....)

I don't know whether I linked to this http://dinnerwithjulie.com/2008/05/17/d ... d-mojitos/before. But I recommend it highly.

In fact she has one of my favourite cooking websites.

I *hate* these web pages( :grin: ). Talk of smoked or roasted lamb etc. inhibits any sort of constructive work at this end. At any time of the day. I think I'll go find me a cat ....

Now you have two cats to fatten feed, one can of tuna's not going to get you very far. :chef: :cauldron:

Scrumptious Christopher, I went out for lunch with Mrs J on Friday at an Italian cafe and they had something very similar, I found this to be a great side order with a lovely crayfish dish they had presented.

I don't think about chick peas in the same way any more- not after a cooking show satire, calling for chick peas, used two chickens and showed the yellow liquid being used in the recipes.

And I won't say anything about the leak and potato soup.

Coulda been worse if shot in Queensland where, I understand, they rely heavily on boar water.
