Pro Chef Turns Canned Chickpeas Into 4 Meals For Under $8 | The Smart Cook | Epicurious
Amazing video!
Literally keep coming back to this video for the chickpea risotto recipe; does anyone know if there are any varieties of this dish or dishes that are similar because I feel so weird going back to this video.
Im obsessed with this series. More episodes, please!
THANK YOU!!!! Please continue, your content is appreciated.
Thanks for this excellent show! Learning so much about techniques that transfer to overall kitchen know how. Great job to all involved!
Celery leaves are indeed a secret weapon… try making celery leaf-almond pesto… delicious!!
Please bring Chef back and do more of these videos.
Aquafaba, from the Latin for water (aqua) and beans (faba). So, bean-water. And as Gus from My Big Fat Greek Wedding would say, "There you go."
Shout out to floor microwave
Oh wow. Gulab jamun and peaches actually sounds amazing.
Έκλασε ο μαλάκας ????????????????
What if you don’t have a blender?
The risotto looked too small a portion, but with that pudding it would be great I imagine.
The breakfast just treated the chickpeas as a secondary thought and didn't need it with all the other ingredients. Chickpeas are loaded with protein as well and substitution of them for potatoes is kinda of an insult to them…Like your meat, eggs and avocado. Chickpeas are much more usable than that! You can make an omelette without eggs and just Chickpeas… That was unfortunately a fail (MPO). Also the oil and yogurt will already make a ranch dressing. (Again the Chickpea liquid : an afterthought:( Chickpeas can replace many breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and deserts. You can make firm feta cheese and Pizza dough with chickpeas! Just using Chickpeas instead of potatoes or rice is lazy and not realizing their potential. This was a useless example of what they can do; I'm sorry and kinda shocked:( PRO Chef Here of Meat based and Plant based cuisine. Chickpeas Deserve better PRESS! I'm really unimpressed. Sorry. If you a "PRO CHEF" Than make the ingredient the main part of the meal; not a secondary component…
You should break your videos up in parts.
Wow thank u so much! Hubs and I have switched to the Mediterranean diet due to some health issues and this gives us a few ideas to go with!
When I think hash and breakfast I think of smoking hash and making a bacon egg and cheese biscuit samich or making hievos rancheros I'll try garbanzo chickpeas instead of beans next time
Falafel with Peaches and Honey…. cool.
love this guy! just discovered him. going from elitist noma to showing people how to cook delicious things for no money? i love him even more)
Could you bring back this series with updated prices on eggs?
This channel is brilliant especially when counting every penny. Chef Dan makes a difference in my cookery.
How is that a breakfast ? Hahaha yea i dont know about that one , that was a clever recipe just not my taste . The other recipes seemed amazing and a must try indeed 🙂
The simplist ingredients can make the most nourishing food.:)
