Garbanzo Ala King Recipes

CHICKPEA ALA KING RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Saute the onion, peppers and mushrooms for 5 minutes. Set aside. Put in blender the water, almonds, sesame seeds, McKays, garlic powder, onion, powder and flour. Blend several minutes, or until very smooth. Add to sauteed vegetables and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Let simmer for a few minutes until thickened. Add tarragon, cooked carrots, frozen peas, and garbanzos. Heat through. Serve over brown rice, noodles or buttered toast. Top with toasted almonds or cashews, if desired.

DRASTIC CHICKEN (VARIATION OF CHICKEN ALA KING)

Steps:

• Brown the Onions, using the olive oil.
• Add the diced chicken pieces, season with the Paprika, Thyme and Garlic while frying.
• Prepare whatever sort of Pasta you like (I use Penne for this one).
• The Microwave method for cheese sauce can be very tricky. I've messed it up enough times over the years. You'll know it's not right by the way the texture. As yet I haven't found a sure fire way of stopping this from happening, it just requires being watched, much like stove top cheese sauce I guess.
• Using a deep dish approx 15 cm in diameter, place the butter in the dish and Microwave on High for 30-45 seconds.
• Should be melted when removed.
• Add Flour and combine.
• Add the milk (DON'T MIX YET, it goes lumpy if you mix it at this point).
• These times are only a guide. Be sure not to let the sauce boil for more than a few seconds. The texture may become a bit grainy if it boils for to long.
• Microwave on High for 2 minutes.
• Add the cheese and mix.
• Microwave on High for another 2 Minutes.
• Remove occasionally to mix and check thickness.
• Alternatively you can prepare your cheese sauce using the stove top method.
• For this recipe you want the sauce to be a bit runny as it will be added to the Chicken and left to simmer for 5-10 minute.
• A tasty variation is adding Chopped Green Peppers.
• Add them while seasoning you don't want them to get soft.
• I'm sure that Mushrooms could be added to this recipe.
• Fry them up and add them just before combining the sauce with the Chicken and onions.
