Iron Chef Challenge #1
I usually post these on my own site, but since I have a theme this year, we’re doing this on the MoFo blog!
The VeganMoFo Iron Chef challenge is simple. I post an ingredient or two on Friday, then on Sunday evening I will gather up the links and post them in a special round-up. There are no winners, and the only rule is that you have to come up with an original dish, not using a recipe from a book or the internet (edited to add that you also have to make something new, not an old blog post that so happens to involve the ingredient). Just comment on this entry with the link to your blog post by Sunday, 3 pm CST to participate.
And the secret ingredient is…
CHICKPEAS!
You can use dried, fresh, chickpea flour, you can use hummus (totally counts), whatever! Have fun and be creative.
Allez Végétalien Cuisine!

Also known as socca, cecina is a vegan pancake of chickpea flour popular in France and Italy. This recipe for Zucchini Cecina with Guacamole, Greens, and Cherry tomatoes will have you hooked on the baked chickpea deliciousness.

I also made these Sweet Chickpea flour balls. These are vegan version of an indian chickpea dessert. Gluten free option and my own twist. Chickpea flour, semolina, quinoa flour, cardamom, cashews and raisins, and coconut oil.

I just made some spiced chickpea crackers (which are also gluten-free) to help shovel up all of the smoked eggplant I’ve been craving lately, mmm.

Chickatater salad – it’s my new favorite meal to put on repeat. Quick, easy, and oh so yummy. And it’s fun to say. 😉

I may have misunderstood. Just say the Tweet about it being a new recipe this weekend. This is a new recipe for me, but I made a few different versions in the last couple weeks before settling on the simplest version to share on MoFo, because I like it best. Please, feel free to remove my comment/link if this is not in the spirit of the post.
I have a can of organic chickpeas and a full work weekend. I’ll make something in an hour or less based on what I have in my kitchen. Exciting! This is how I cook often…

I few days ago I made some apple pie hummus that is perfect for this challenge! http://healthykitschyvegan.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/vegan-mofo-day-2-apple-pie-hummus/
Brilliant! I didn’t know what to make for lunch today but this inspired me to make a spicy chick pea soup using green chillis from the garden with some tasty spices to warm us up. I also finally got to use the butternut squash I grew in the garden LAST summer! Thanks for the inspiration! Here’s the link:
Woops! Here it is:

I roasted some chickpeas and ate them right up. A bit lacking in innovative creativity but inspired by mofo. http://pandawithcookie.blogspot.com/2011/10/vegan-mofo-vegan-iron-chef-chickpea.html
My Snickerdoodle Dip’s hidden ingredient is chickpeas!! You would never know cause this is pure dessert heaven.
http://yourvegangirlfriend.com/2011/09/21/snickerdoodle-dip/
Is there any way that we could get little more lead time between when the ingredients are posted and the deadline for the recipe? That would make it possible for me to budget the ingredient into my groceries for the week…and for something like chickpeas that needs to soak overnight first, give me enough time to actually prepare it!
Alternately, is it okay to post a recipe that I’ve made before but have never posted online before?
Thanks for doing this! I hope I can participate!
I made vegan “Hot Pockets,” but I am calling them “Bosillos Calientes” so I don’t get sued. Here’s the link: http://bodybychickpeas.blogspot.com/2011/10/vegan-hot-pockets-but-to-avoid-legal.html
Ok I made something new for this challenge too!.. phew.. we do need some lead time i say..
