Monday, April 19th

Again not a reading weekend. Managed to finish Stargazers, Stories of the first philosophers by Paul Rossetti Bjarnason. Very enjoyable. The Afrikaans word for philosophy, which is wysbegeerte, translates as desire for wisdom, very apt I realise now.

Regarding recipe, some people say that if legumes are soaked for more than 24 hours, with constant water changes, there will be no flatulence problem. Others say that a bit of baking soda should be added to the cooking water.

Chickpeas in Yogurt

500g Dried chickpeas, soak overnight or longer
250ml Rosemary, thyme & tarragon
Boil together in enough fresh water to cover, until soft. Cool and slip peels of if you want to.

50g Fresh ginger, peeled and grated
160g Peppadews, drained and finely chopped
30g Salted lemon, minced
500g Greek or Bulgarian yogurt
Mix all. Add salt if needed.
