  1. This turned out great for us! We don't eat alot of chickpeas so this was a wonderful way to get them in our diet. I used edamame instead of green peas. Made for PAC Spring 2014.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In 2011, I saw a PBS Special, 3 Steps to Incredible Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It inspired me to change to a Nutritarian cooking style, which focuses on the nutrient density of the foods you eat. Since that time, I have been collecting recipes. I have found a few recipes ready to go but most of them were either too complicated for everyday use or needed some changes to fit with this eating style.
