I usually season Chickpea Salad with Salt and Black Pepper, most likely with Lemon Juice, Olive Oil and Parsley. Today I used Ground Chilli and Ground Cumin for a change, and it was so good. If you enjoy Coriander, add Coriander instead of Parsley. It turns into a totally different salad. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients …
I would have used Soy Beans for this dish, but I couldn’t find Large Dried Soy Beans. Chickpeas are always a great substitute. You can use Canned Chickpeas OR Edamame Beans instead. If you do so, you need to alter the cooking time. Kombu (Kelp) might be an unfamiliar sea vegetable for you. I like …
Beans are not expensive and nutritious. As food prices soar, it might be a good idea to start eating more Beans. This is a super simple salad of Beans. I added a small can of Tuna as well. Chickpeas and other Beans can be used, but I used Cannellini (White Beans). You may wish to …
‘Edamame’ are young Soy Beans. In Melbourne where I live, Frozen Edamame Beans, that are already removed from pods, are widely available these days. ‘Edamame’ are sometimes mashed into paste and used for many dishes, even for sweets. Today I made them into this simple soup. Very nutritious, filling, and delicious with crusty bread. Makes …
To make Falafel, you need to use uncooked Chickpeas. Because the protein of Chickpeas hardens when heated, the soft mixture of processed Chickpeas and other ingredients firms up when cooked. These Green Falafel are made with Chickpeas and Frozen Peas. You can smell and taste Peas as well. Absolutely delicious! Makes 30 balls Ingredients 1 …
In Australia, Chipolatas are small Pork OR Beef Sausages. I first made this dish when I saw a dish made with Chipolatas and Canned Baked Beans. I don’t like Canned Baked Beans, so I used Canned Cannnellini Beans and Tomatoes. This is a quick & easy family dish for a busy person. This kind of …
It’s springtime in Melbourne. At a local green grocer, I saw fresh Broad Beans that were quite large, and I couldn’t resist buying them. I often use fresh Broad Beans for salads and pasta dishes, but today I made them into Tempura. It takes time to prepare Broad Beans, but I enjoy doing that because …
Canned Beans are very handy to stock in the pantry. Using them, a nice salad like this one can be made very easily. You may wish to cook Lentils by yourself as it doesn’t take long to cook them. I still enjoy using Canned Lentils. Today I used Cucumber, Grape Tomatoes, Carrot, Red Capsicum and …
Today I found Kransky Sausages in the fridge. There are many options that I can cook with them, but I always prefer cooking them in curry flavour. ‘Curry Flavoured Smoked Sausage & Potato Salad’ is the dish that I cook with Kransky most frequently. Today I made a soup, but it turned not quite soupy. …
‘Kinako’ is finely ground Roasted Soy Beans, and it is a popular ingredient for Japanese sweets. I regularly purchase a bag of ‘Kinako’, but it is not easy to use it up. Today I wanted to use up the leftover ‘Kinako’. I baked my ‘Rice Flour Pound Cake’ and replaced 1/2 of Rice Flour with …
The mixture of Canned Tuna, Japanese Mayonnaise and a little bit of Soy Sauce is delicious, and it can be used for a variety of dishes, particularly for salads. I often mix Edamame Beans (young Soy Beans) with it, but today I added Canned Mixed Beans as well. It turned out a delicious and nutritious …
I first made this dish by accident.

I frequently make it using a variety of vegetables. However, this time, the sauce was too much for the …
