Fresh Garbanzos
A La Mexicana
Lots of people eat garbanzos but have you ever tried them fresh? They're Mexico's version of Edamame. They come in these green little pods. Just squeeze them out and they are ready to eat raw or cooked. I eat alot of dried and canned garbanzos that have a tan color but when they are in season, fresh green colored garbanzos are delicious. Your most likely to find fresh garbanzos in a latino or farmers market. Try them out sometime as a substitute to the dried or canned garbanzos you might usually have.
Ingredients:
1 cup Fresh Garbanzos
2 Roma Tomatoes
1/4 of an Onion
1 clove of Garlic
1 de-seeded Jalapeno
1/4 teaspoon of Ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon of Mexican Oregano
A Few Sprigs Of Fresh Cilantro
1 teaspoon of Coconut Oil
Salt to taste.
Directions:
Add the oil to a frying pan. Saute the onion, garlic and jalapeno til they soften up. Add the garbanzos and spices. Saute for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes. Saute for a few min. Mix the cilantro at the very end. It'll wilt as you mix it in. Serve it on rice or tortillas.
