If you, like me, neither have a garden nor a balcony where you can grow your own vegetables, sprouting might be the answer to your hopes and dreams (okay, at least it is to me) : Sprouting is basically soaking, draining then rinsing seeds at regular intervals until they sprout or germinate. I tried my green fingers at sprouting chickpeas for the first time a couple of days ago and “harvested” my little sproutlings today. It was really quite easy : I soaked a handful of dried chickpeas for 24 hours, then I rinsed them, put them in a colander inside a plastic bag and let them hang out in the cupboard beneath my kitchen sink for a couple of days. I rinsed them twice a day and that was that, not labour intensive at all. They tasted great, I ate some of them raw and lightly fried the rest of them in some olive oil and hot madras curry powder for breakfast. Yummy! Not to mention healthy.

Spread them evenly over the crisp bread, slightly press into the mixture to make the nuts a part of the bread. I’ve found that this ensures a more even distribution of nuts in the bread than adding the nuts to mix from the beginning. If you wanna go crazy, sprinkle some poppy seeds on the bread too! But beware, if you eat too many of those little suckers you might test positive in a opiate drug test. Mythbusters said so!
The end result !
Here he’s checking out my hand bag. I know he’s just on the look out for something edible but I entertained myself with the idea that he was helping me organizing the bag and cleaning out old receipts.
Until he suddenly found what he was looking for and darted off so quickly I didn’t manage to catch him before he’d dissappeared under the sofa.
They like the fact that they can use the yoghurt cup as a hat afterwards.
