Warm Chickpea Salad


I made this delicious Warm Chickpea Salad yesterday. For convenience, I used canned chickpeas for this recipe. It is a faster and cheaper alternative. However, if you are not into chickpeas, you can substitute it with other canned beans instead. Just make sure the beans are firm and not the mushy type.

    Most people think I have 'issues' because I am seriously addicted to chickpeas, if I don't eat them every day then I have to eat them every other day. To me, they are just the most perfect food, so much flavor, so nutritious, and so adaptable. This recipe just proves how good chickpeas can be in any setting. I am really looking forward to making this.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
