This was a hit this weekend....Curried Garbanzo salad; using Joe's technique on prepping the beans

[barb_b]

I used the spices / herbs from the WF recipe; using Joe's method of preparing the beans by heating them up in their liquid (I added the minced garlic / salt paste to the liquid).....

Then drained to finish the curry seasonings.

It was a hit.
