today's supper at work is...
Feb. 27th, 2007 09:06 amHigh-Protein Salad
540ml can of chick peas (drained and rinsed)
227 ml can of water chestnuts (drained and rinsed)
2 c peanuts (roasted, unsalted)
1/4 c kalamata olives, sliced
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp oil (I used sesame)
2 tbsp basil
sea salt, pepper to taste (I use LOTS of pepper, little salt)
Super simple, just throw everything into a bowl and mix it up. Good at room temperature, or chilled. Great for those days you crave protein but don't want meat. Also a nice salad topper.
I served this with a side of sautéed veggies - 1 clove garlic, half stalk celery and a little brocolli cooked at low temp in some olive oil, then add some canned crushed tomatoes and (hot) paprika for flavour. Yup. Now it's all in my little lunch box for when I go to work. Yum yum!
P.S. I now have a tag filter for recipes. Both for you guys and myself.
