Thank you to Jacquie for sending in these 3 recipes: Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas, Lentil Burgers, and Grand Marnier Cake....delicious ways to use some items from the pantry!
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEAS
You can eat this at room temperature, and it makes a healthy, filling, delicious lunch or side dish for dinner. You may think that the combination of cauliflower and chickpeas sounds a bit dull but roasting them brings out the sweetness of the cauliflower; the combination of the mustard dressing and parsley really makes it pop.
Ingredients: 1 head of cauliflower, broken in florets 1 can chickpeas, rinsed, drained and dried with a dishtowel 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley Extra-virgin olive oil Sea salt & black pepper 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon seeded mustard 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. Toss the chickpeas and cauliflower together in a large roasting pan with three tablespoons of olive oil and a big pinch of salt. 3. Shake well and place in the oven for approximately 35-40 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden. Check frequently and turn over to make sure the cauliflower doesn’t get too dark. 4. Meanwhile, whisk together the Dijon mustard, seeded mustard, vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil with a big pinch of salt and some black pepper. 5. While the chickpeas and cauliflower are still warm, toss them with the mustard dressing and parsley. 6. Serve warm and ENJOY!
