Today I postponed my plans for making curried chickpeas after I found I had no ginger, coconut milk and various other vital ingredients. Instead I went to another Will Yeung recipe, for chickpea fritters.
Those extra cans of chickpeas Misfits sent in mistake need to be used. So I assembled the cast for the recipe
Will loves spices, and with a base of onions, garlic, chickpeas and mashed potatoes, you can go wild.
So then I opened the chickpea can and
Out came black beans. Oh. I've notified Misfits, complete with picture. It's not a problem, I can use them, but they need to know they've got a labeling issue.
So I opened another, and this turned out to be chickpeas. Which made terrific fritters, baked in the toaster oven, and I created some sort of sauce to go with it.
Grey poupon, kalamata olives, mayo and horseradish. I could also have used plain yogurt instead of mayo. Anyway it was pretty good.
The black beans I put with various spices into a quart of chicken broth I'd found in the freezer, and made a quick soup for supper with toasted seedy bread croutons.
Enough for more of all the same tomorrow.
It pays to be nimble around here.
And I thought since it's milder today, people might be interested in a bit of Freecycling.
