When I was younger, I would buy store-ready hummus. I then graduated to making hummus from canned garbanzos. Then I took the big plunge and learned to make hummus from freshly cooked garbanzo beans. There are many ways to cook beans. This is the way I cook them and to me it’s a comfort food that brings delicious eating experiences to my family and creates hygge memories. For each cup of dry beans, add 1 tablespoon of uncooked millet. (For information on why to add millet and for an alternate method of cooking dry beans,click here.) Place beans and millet in a heavy pot. Cover with water and soak 6-8 hours or overnight. Rinse after soaking using a sieve with a tiny mesh so the millet does not wash away. Using the same heavy pan, cover the beans and millet with about 2 inches of water and simmer for 2- 2 ½ hours. Test for doneness. If soft, enjoy them in many varieties of dishes from roasted garbanzos to hummus to tabbouleh with garbanzos and beyond. Hummus can be served as a dip with fresh vegetables, served with crackers and even used as a spread for sandwiches and flatbread. Another one of my favorite dishes is tabbouleh. This is a Middle Eastern dish packed with goodness and nutrition. The dish is bulgur and fresh vegetables with mint, lemon, and garlic. When I found this recipe, I fell in love with the flavor. Adding garbanzo beans to tabbouleh packs it with nutrition. This recipe is also one of my favorites this time of year because the vegetables that are used can be straight from the garden. For a quick treat, roasted garbanzo beans are a great treat to snack on or as a topping on a salad.  Enjoy the possibilities.
