Chickpea Loaf With Hazelnuts Food

FRIED CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the oil, or more as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over high heat, add 3 tablespoons of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chickpeas. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they're golden and crisp on the exterior, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium high and add the scallions, garlic, and cumin. Cook and stir until the scallions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a sheet tray and let cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the chickpeas into a large bowl. Add the arugula, kale, tomatoes, cilantro, mint, cheese, and pine nuts. Pour over the yogurt dressing, season with salt and pepper. Toss well and serve.

CHICKPEA-VEGGIE LOAF

Steps:

• Saute the vegetables in a little water, till the onions are well softened.
• Put the chickpeas in a colander, and rinse for 1 minute under hot water. This will make them much easier to mash. Put them in a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
• Heat oven to 300°F.
• Combine all other ingredients with the chickpeas, and mix well.
• Transfer mixture to a nonstick or lightly oiled loaf pan and pat in in evenly. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Cool the loaf, in the pan, for a few minutes before serving.
• Leftovers are great warmed up on a toasted sandwich with gravy!

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush the inside of a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil and line with a strip of parchment paper. Set aside.
• Mash the bananas with the back of a fork in a large bowl until only a few lumps remain. Add the eggs and mix until smooth. Using the fork, whisk in the coconut oil, yogurt, sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth and incorporated. Add the flour and baking soda and use a rubber spatula to stir until combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the hazelnuts, if using, and the chocolate chips.
• Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Dollop half of the hazelnut spread over the top of the batter. Swirl the spread into the batter using the tip of a knife. Top with the remaining batter and repeat with the remaining hazelnut spread. Bake until the bread is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with very few crumbs (the streaks of hazelnut spread will still be wet), 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes in the pan.
• Turn the pan on its side and let rest an additional 30 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and remove to a wire rack to cool completely. The bread will keep for 4 days at room temperature.

HAZELNUT-CHICKPEA-CHOCOLATE SPREAD

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the hazelnuts until they form a fine meal. Add the chickpeas and process until combined. Add the coconut sugar, cocoa powder, oil, vanilla and 1/4 cup water and process until smooth.
• Serve the spread with strawberries, pretzels and/or graham crackers.

• Note: For smaller portions, divide the loaf into 2 smaller loaf pans. Cooking time is the same. I used the food processor to chop up the chickpeas. I am not a fan of store bought (dried out) bread crumbs, so I used 3 slices of flax seed bread. Regular or whole wheat bread could be used.
