The Garbanzo patties were my first attempt at something burger like. It is a stretch to call it a burger. The patties browned on the outside but stayed soft. I will need to do a lot more experimenting to get something firm. The cool thing is, it was our first “burger” and fries since going McDougall. Let’s start with the patties.
Today’s McDougally lunch was homemade (oil-less) hummus – which I made by blending up a can of garbanzo beans and adding lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika and a bit of salt. Also, I made a cold salad with peas, corn, carrots, cilantro and balsamic vinegar (mixed w/some red wine vinegar), topped with chopped tomatoes. (Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste) It all turned out really good – and was surprisingly filling. Oh yeah, we each had a 1/2 pear sliced up as well and brown rice cakes to spread the hummus on.
