We love chickpeas so this recipe from Chef April Bloomfield of the Spotted Pig quot;gastro-pubquot; in Greenwich, Manhattan soon became one of our favorites.
Warm up with a piping hot bowl of Southwestern comfort, with chicken, veggies and black beans in a creamy broth, topped with the perfect amount of crunch.
Dress up plain cavatappi (spiral-shaped) pasta with fiber-rich spinach and garbanzo beans, then add distinct Mediterranean flavor with feta and heart-healthy olive oil. Serve with buttered garlic toast.
The Chubby Vegetarian featured this recipe with homemade polenta. I've adapted the recipe to include items that I already had on hand including the polenta
Crushed red pepper adds some unexpected heat to this mouthwatering soup that slow cooks for hours, ensuring wonderful flavors, enticing aromas and minimal work for the cook.
So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines but this recipe came out of trial and error. The soup is pretty sour cooked to quot;full strengthquot; but can make a pretty nice fast meal with rice.
