Garbanzo Beans with Beets and Parsley Salad

 

Beet Stir Fry:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup red onions, chopped

1 tablespoon curry leaves, chopped

1 inch strip Pandan leaf, optional

1 teaspoon black mustard seeds

3 medium beets, chopped small

1 cup beet stems, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1 portabella mushroom, sliced

 

Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add

the red onions and sauté until softened. Add the curry

leaves, the Pandan leaf, and the mustard seeds and

stir well. Next, add the beets and sauté for about

three minutes or until the beets get softer but not

mushy. Add the beet greens and stir. Cook just until

the beet greens become a bright green, but do not

overcook. Push the beet mixture to one side of the

pan, add the garlic and the mushroom and fry together

until the mushroom softens. Sautéing them separately

like this will allow the mushroom to absorb all of the

garlic flavor. Then mix well with the rest of the

veggies. You can use salt and black pepper to taste.

 

Spiced Garbanzo Beans:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 can garbanzo beans, precooked

1/4 cup red onions

1 teaspoon black mustard seeds

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

 

The garbanzo beans add protein to this dish. Cooking

them separately keeps them from turning red with the

beet stir fry and makes for a nicer presentation. In a

separate pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the red

onions, then add the mustard seeds, turmeric, and

cumin seeds. Add the garbanzo beans, and salt and

pepper to taste. Mix well and cook for a very short

time, just to get the beans coated with the spices.

 

Parsley Salad:

2 cups parsley, finely chopped

1 cup tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup red onion, minced

1 full lemon squeezed

Salt and pepper to taste

 

This fresh salad can be served with any meal to add

vitamins and raw enzymes. It is easy to make and

packed with nutrition. Place the chopped parsley in a

mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, onions, and the lemon

juice and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.
