Well, check this out, if you roast chickpeas long enough, they become more like nuts than beans. They get this crazy [...]

Sometimes I like spending a weekend making breads, or cooking a bolognese sauce for hours on end, or even making my own butter (you’ll see that one later).

The flavors complemented the natural nuttiness of the seed and made for a tasty, healthful, one-dish meal. Obviously, you can [...] Up until a few days ago I had no idea what this was.
