ChickPea Mayhem - Recipe

Grain-Free Chickpea Mayhem - Chickpeas aka Garbanzo's are the mainstay of many novice vegan protein plans. Loaded with Protein & Carbs by the can or cooked, these peas make the paste.

My 1st Hummus venture was out of a cookbook at my Great-Grandmother's old farm house. I was never allowed to receive funds from Japan, as the USA always threatened to jail me as an agent, so I took odd jobs. I went to work for A male Greek chef who owned the Cabbagetown Cafe before its closure. The only legitimate garbanzo cooking I had got me falafel'd out. I took a college summer month to serve falafels at NY State fairs for my summer rent money.
Over 30 years later, chickpeas are a rare main meal or salad item for me.  If chickpeas could walk, they are on my plank for taste fatigue. Though, I would plant them in the ground where they belong;- Here is my last Vegan-Keogenic-grain-free-fruit-free Chick Pea recipe from scratch.
