It's kind of fun going through the ingredients I have in my pantry and fridge and trying to come up with a meal suitable for dinner. I was out of fresh vegetables and didn't want to spend any money at the store today so I took these items...
Brown rice, tahini, canned tomatoes and frozen green beans.
...and made Creamy Chickpea Tahini Casserole. I've made this before and it is delicious especially with chickpeas. I didn't have any today so I used frozen green beans. This casserole is so good, creamy and really healthy too. I normally use white rice but I had this bag of brown basmati sitting in my pantry for a while and wanted to use it up. The green beans were a good stand in for the chickpeas even though they were a little overcooked. I served the rice with a bean salad that I made yesterday. I only made a half recipe of the casserole and I still have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch!
Poor little shriveled green beans! Good thing they didn't hurt the taste overall.
Beautiful bean salad again.
On my plate.
Sounds like a really healthy, filling meal!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE Bean salad - that whole plate looks totally scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteI love casseroles like that. Mix all together, then come back later after you've done some chores and it's ready to eat. It looks great with your bean salad.
