Hobo chickpea concotion

I am dressed like a homeless person right now.  I'm not really sure what is going on.  But, I was really hungry and didn't feel like changing, and since we all know that I live by the phrase "you never know when you are going to meet your husband", I could not leave the house.  Therefore I decided to hunt through my cupboards and make something with what I had.  This could have been a disaster, but ended up being delicious.
You will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 can garbanzo beans
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 a bag of spring mix greens
  • 1/2 inch of ginger, peeled and grated
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 of a lemon
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 some sort of squash
So, bake your squash in the oven.  While you are doing this, put some oil in your pan and cook up the garlic and ginger.  Pour in the drained garbanzo beans. Cook for about three minutes.  Drain some of the juice off of your diced tomatoes and add that in too. Stir it around.  open up the oven and flip your squash, then return it to baking.  Add in the coconut milk.  season with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes. Squeeze the juice from the 1/2 lemon into the mixture. Bring this whole thing to a boil, then let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring about every five minutes.  Now this is the weird part: add in the salad mix handful by handful and let it wilt. Remove your squash from the oven and pour the garbanzo bean concoction over it. Yep.  It's delicious. also, it makes a ton (so only use about 1 cup on your squash), but it is also thick enough that you can eat it with a fork.

  1. Hmmmmmmmm... This sound weird and wonderful. I like your style sister! Also love that you own dressing like a homeless person. Probably a good move to stay indoors:)
