Chickpea Parmesan

The Tig says thank you for all of your comments! He spent the afternoon smoking chewing grass.

IMG_9439Blog

He’s so cool..

IMG_9443Blog

I found myself stuck at the bakery again this afternoon. Seems to be a recurring situation! I wanted to stay and work, but I wasn’t planning on staying so I’m caught unprepared again. I was pretty hungry after biking to my meeting, so I went over to Cville Coffee for a smoothie! I love their smoothies – they’re made with berries, banana, tofu and plain yogurt.

IMG_1182Blog

I asked if I could have a tiny thing of their granola on the side – and a spoon! Bingo!!

IMG_1183BlogIMG_1184Blog

SIAB x2 today! I gobbled this bad boy down – it was just what I wanted!

IMG_1185Blog

Dinner back at home caught us unprepared as well. I knew it had to involve kale, which was wilting, and garbanzo beans, which I made in the crockpot.

What we came up with took 10 minutes and was a killer dinner!

IMG_9458Blog

The chickpeas were soaked overnight, water changed and then crockpotted on LOW for 8 hours – PERFECTION!!!

IMG_9446BlogIMG_9448Blog

We called this dinner:

Here’s a treat for you: Francesca’s Tiramisú Recipe!!

IMG_9444Blog

Francesca’s Tiramisú

Francesca is from Sicily and this is her mom’s famous authentic recipe!

Prep: 20 Minutes
Chill: 2 hours minimum

Ingredients

  • Espresso coffee – We use a stovetop espresso maker but any coffee can work as long as it’s strong and not of the flavored variety.
  • Mascarpone Cheese – We usually use 500 grams.  Mascarpone often comes in 250 gram tubs.
  • Egg Yolks – The use of egg yolks is dictated by the amount of Mascarpone used.  1 egg yolk is used for every 100 grams of Mascarpone.  We use the whites for other cooking.
  • Sugar – One tablespoon or regular spoonful per 100 grams of Mascarpone.  Italian spoons are smaller (surprise!) than American spoons so this is a light (NOT Heaping) spoonful.  Also, the cookies are very sweet so you don’t need too much sugar.
  • Coffee Liqueur – Yep, its true.  Any good recipe uses a little alcohol.  We use half of a shot of Kahula or other coffee liqueur.  Just a little flavoring!
  • Savoiardi Cookies – Americans call these “Lady Fingers”.  However, the Italian variety are not soft.  They can be found at an Italian Grocery Store (We got them at Foods of All Nations in Charlottesville).  We buy two packages at a time, just to make sure there are enough.
  • Pan – We use a roughly 9” x 13” pan but any will be good as long as you can get a spatula or other serving utensil into it.

Method

  • Use a good size bowl and an electric mixer or stand mixer to mix the egg yolks and sugar together. As the eggs and sugar are blending add the mascarpone and liquor.  Mix for about one minute.
  • In a separate pan, pour in the coffee (watch out for it being too hot) and if you want to make it a little less potent add a little milk.
  • Take your cookies one at a time and dip them on both sides in the coffee and layer them into your pan.  This is no more than one to two seconds on each side, otherwise they become soggy and fall apart.  Layer the entire bottom with cookies next to each other leaving no gaps on the inside or edges of the pan.
  • Spread a thin layer of the mascarpone mix on top of the cookies.  Then, set another layer of cookies on top of the mascarpone.  And finally, spread the remaining mascarpone mix on top of the second layer of cookies.  Keep it thin, beware of crushing the coffee soaked cookies, and spread the mix out over the entire pan.
  • To finish we sift some cocoa powder on top.  Sam likes to throw some coffee beans into the sifter with the powder, thereby coating them in cocoa as well.  He takes the beans and decorate the top while I start cleaning up (after him).
  • Congratulations you just finished making my mom’s Tiramisú.  Put it in the fridge for at least two hours.  Enjoy it for desert or breakfast (I, as most Italians, love my sweets in the morning).

IMG_9434Blog

Tiramisú will provide a nice pick-me-up!

IMG_9432Blog

I’m off to have a sliver of the piece that is left!

It’s a stormy evening and if Matt will tell me I can end my shift at the bakery now, I’m hoping to dig back into my book! I started Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, which I picked up used online after you guys recommended it a few months ago when I was looking for Westerns. I read the prologue last night and I am hooked!

I guess I’m not the only one who enjoyed it so much. It’s a really great book and I hope you enjoy it!

      This is a super easy, fail safe method of cooking beans. I add a bit of baking soda to the beans in the crockpot, this helps them to cook faster and helps with digestion for those that are a bit … sensitive … to beans! 🙂

I told the mom I nanny for about your kale chips and gave her the link awhile ago, and she’s been making them and her two year old LOVES them. It’s so cute to hear a little voice say, “kale chip pease!” 🙂 3. The pic of Matt is heelar. 4. I love that book so, so much. and 5. Your blog always inspires me to eat nourishing foods and enjoy a beautiful meal. Makes me happy. I really like what you said last night-so true how much what we eat affecting how we feel. Ok, I think I’m done with the lists. Thanks Kath. 🙂

              Yes, it is a story from the Bible told in a different setting. It doesn’t push Christianity in the book, it just shows unconditional love from a man even toward a prostitute.

I typically just do it on the crockpot, but hate that you have to kind of watch it and keep testing during cooking.

    How is it that I’ve made dishes like that chickpea scramble countless times and they always end up looking like something that’s been regurgitated, and yet you make it gorgeous? Sigh 😛

    That chickpea parmesan looks and sounds so tasty! Great idea! I’ve just discovered your blog and so far, woah, you’ve got some killer recipes and ideas that I’m dying to try out! SIAB? Who knew! Dough boy oatmeal? My mouth is already watering! Oh, and I am a total organizational queen and loved your section “home neat home” and seeing how you organized it! Neato! Also, are there any posts regarding your job as a dietician or are you more involved in the bakery now? I’m looking into getting a MPH and being health educator so just curious 🙂

    I LOVED Redeeming Love – so good!!!! I highly recommend her other series, the Mark of the Lion if you enjoy that (I liked it even better!)

    ps – thanks for a great chickpea recipe. I struggle sometimes finding ways to make it so that it tastes flavorful…

    Kath! So glad to hear you tried the crock pot chick peas!! See what I mean, even when you have no clue what dinner might look like, if you have your beans (or peas!) ready, you can come up with something quick and easy! Dinner looks yummy, save me the leftovers, I’m on my way!!

    I was wondering how com you soak your chickpeas overnight and are they from a can or just raw because i can only find the canned one.

      They were dry, which is why you soak them. It reduces the cooking time

    Redeeming Love is my favorite book– by far! Hope you enjoy it! And I’ve only made kale chips in the oven @ 200 degrees for about 4 hours, so your method looks great! So much quicker!

    Just wondering, when you are ready to cook the chickpeas in the crockpot, how much water do you cook them in?

    Thank you Francesca for the Tiramisu recipe. It looks amazing!

    BTW, love that cat!!

      I covered them completely – because you drain them at the end. Just make sure they’re well covered
