#Repost @seandburke with @get_repost ・・・ This here is some of the best chocolate in the world. This one has only two ingredients. The 100% pure tastes sweet, not bitter. One of its many rare features. Ethically traded and artfully made by Iris and Bob, @solkiki_chocolatemaker is delightful and I have no idea how they stock so many varieties. This is a sample of some award winners, including the Maranon Fortunato No 4. Each bar comes with a story and a tasting chart. Give them a try some time. Grown in Peru, made in Somerset (not Sussex or Essex - I was close in that I got the country, not the region). Cheers. #StayingHome #xmas Ⓥ 💚🌱 . . . . . #vegan #vegansofig #alwaysvegan #whatvegansdo #veganism #vegansofinstagram #veganlife #veganshare #veganfriendly #veganforlife #vegancommunity #foodporn #veganfoodie #love #lifeisfun #veganing #poweredbyplants #govegan #liveineverett #tinyacrecollective #plantbased https://www.instagram.com/p/CJW1SSUjZn7/?igshid=1x73mx6i2h8tt
Chickpeas are thought to come from the Mediterranean and can be widely found across countries with access to its shores. I personally love chickpeas in almost any dish and I am certainly a big fan of hummus and falafel. Within Spanish cuisine, Chickpeas with Chard are one of my favourite dishes, with simple ingredients and a superb taste! I’m unsure about where the recipe comes from originally, but I know that it is widespread in my home region Cadiz, with recipes varying slightly in each location.
Originally, it is a dish made with chard, but since this vegetable is rather difficult to get in the UK, I often replace it with spinach. If you get the chance to grow or buy some chard, you should have a go at making the original recipe. In any case, other ingredients for this dish usually include dried peppers or smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, garlic, cumin and bread. It is especially the cumin that gives it its characteristic taste. Cumin is widely employed in Spain, being used in a large number of dishes in southern regions like Andalusia or the Canary Islands. However, it is likely to have arrived in Spain through the Moors a couple of centuries ago. Enjoy its flavour and have a go at cooking this recipe!
Recipe
Preparation time: 45 min.
Difficulty: easy-peasy chickpea peasy
Fancy kitchen utensils: a mortar
Ingredients:
4 medium-sized garlic cloves
100g white bread with soft crust or without crust
500g fresh spinach (with stalks!) or chard
4 juicy and ripe tomatoes (roughly 500g)
Olive oil
1 tsp coarse sea salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked pepper (the Spanish ‘pimentón’)
500g soft-cooked chickpeas
Preparation:
Peel and slice the garlic cloves, chop the bread into bite-size pieces, wash the spinach, and wash and dice the tomatoes.
Place a frying pan over medium heat and fry the garlic in 3 tablespoons of olive oil until golden brown. Use a skimmer to take the garlic out of the pan and set aside. Fry the bread in the remaining oil until it has absorbed it and is crispy. Set aside.
Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil to a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the tomatoes and fry for roughly 8 minutes. Stir occasionally, ensuring that you get a tomato puree rather than burning them (lower the heat if necessary).
Meanwhile, separate the stalks from the leaves of the spinach. Then roughly chop the stalks and add them to the pan. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 6 minutes until they have softened. Add a few tablespoons of water in case the mixture gets too dry.
Use the mortar to bind the garlic, salt, cumin and pepper. Then mix with the bread.
Add the bread-mixture, spinach-leaves and chickpeas to the pan and cook for another 15-20 minutes over medium heat with the lid on. Stir occasionally and remove from heat once all ingredients have become soft. If it becomes to dry, add some more water -but be careful, since the spinach will also release water and you aren’t cooking a soup!-.
Taste for salt and serve in a bowl or soup plate with some fresh bread.
Tip: you can choose pre-cooked chickpeas. Preferably the larger ones available in glass jars in most international supermarkets. If you boil dry chickpeas, make sure you soak them for a day. When you boil them, you can add the spinach and some bay leaves. This will help them soften faster and improve the flavour.
Easter workout doing a full body one suggested by co-workers last week. My wife got a good chuckle as I attempted to follow the well coordinated leaders as they switched between movements.

🌱EATING VEGAN WHILE TRAVELLING🌱 It’s easy to stick to your vegan diet when you do your batch cooking at home or you stay in places during holidays where there are plenty of vegan cafes 😇 But what do you do if you end up in a location where people have no idea what vegan means and think that smoothies are made with milk or yoghurt?🤷🏽♀️ My food creativity is being challenged at the moment and I’m looking for ideas how y’all vegan travellers manage to get your nutrients in, in a similar situation. By nutrients meaning no fries and junk food or salad with hardly any calories and protein, but real food with healthy fats, protein, fibre, slow absorbing carbs etc.🤓 #Callingallvegans please bring on any creative input🙏 Missing the beautiful meals @greenlightcafebarsamui @orionhealing and the beautiful people I shared mealtimes with 💗 #vegan #veganfood #healthyfood #vegetarian #veggies #vegetarianfood #veganrecipe #whatvegansdo #govegan #veganfortheanimals #crueltyfree #yogifood #yogifoodie #whatyogiseat #vegantraveller #travellingvegan #travelvegan (at Sanur, Bali) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9bERB8Dkpv/?igshid=vyih2147jvdm
