Chickpea Couscous Marinara - testing and review

[spindle]

Dicentra-
Was that 1 serving? How much did it weigh before rehydration?

Going to make the switch to dehydrated food recipes, Harmony Food Pack, and totally don't know jack about it yet. Any info would be great. Also, thanks for the recipe.

Yes, that was one serving for one hungry hiker girl.

Dry weight of 4.5oz.

What she said. Thanks Spin.

[CinciJP]

2 tablespoons tomato powder

Tomato powder? Is that dehydrated tomatoes that have been run through a processor?

[NCarolinaHiker]

Looks good, thanks!

No, I'm being serious. I think the whole plastic bag cooking thing is cool but I wonder about BPA and all that.

Cooking in plastic bags is great for females. It boosts estrogen and shrinks the nads of males. All the better for the feminists to take over.

My God that looks AWESOME.

Tomato powder? Is that dehydrated tomatoes that have been run through a processor?

You could do it that way, but I really meant tomato powder (link is just one example)

What about starting the softening of the chickpeas earlier in the day? Perhaps carry them separate from the other ingredients. Around lunch, add some water to the bag. Then at dinner cook them with the other ingredients. Or the other thing you could do is after dehydrating the chickpeas, put them in a paper bag and smash them with a mallet. Then they'd be smaller pieces.

Looks yummy.

Both of those would work, Sb
