We are happy to bring you our twelfth recipe in the series Recipes from the Roulant! These monthly recipes allow you to get to know the different activities of our organization.
With the Roulant farm in Senneville now closed for the season, we are noticing how difficult it can be to eat fresh, local, green food during the winter. Sprouting is an easy way to get nutritious green food growing right on your kitchen counter. This recipe for Sprouted Chickpea Hummus is one of many possible uses for your fresh sprouts.
If you would like to learn how to sprout, come by our free volunteer workshop on Tuesday, December 12th from 4-7pm in the Roulant kitchen (111 rue Roy E). Contact Food Preservation Intern Sarah by email for more information.
