Here is a video I made for VegNews, demonstrating a hearty vegan burger – the chickpea burger! It’s delicious and filling and can be served anyway you like. Nix the bread and serve over a grain, or you can form the burgers smaller and scoop the up and eat them with green leaves. Enjoy!

Spicy Chickpea and Kale Tomato Soup
This soup bears all the Middle Eastern flavors I love in the spices and chickpeas, and reminds me of some classics, such as falafel and hummus. It has a deep, smoky flavor that fills you up and takes your senses to all the right places.
Carrot & Hummus Sandwich
Looking for a quick lunch or dinner that packs in the flavor, nutrition, and bulk all in one – look no further. This recipe is quite balanced — you get the creamy, the crunchy and the chewy in each and every bite. And you probably already have the ingredients on hand. Grated carrots are sautéed [...]

Beet Hummus
The color is enough to make this recipe something to get excited about. Sure, plain hummus never gets old, but sometimes it’s fun to jooj things up a bit in the kitchen and bring some personality to old-time favorites. This recipe brings an earthy flavor to regular hummus and some sass to an ordinarily blah, [...]
Middle East Comfort
Rainy days in the Middle East inspire a different kind of comfort. The comfort of garbanzo beans, of course. But chickpeas involving some deep flavors and, heck, a little bit of green to give the guise of having done something remotely healthy during a day inside. A day that starts with something as light as [...]
Roasted Garlic Hummus
What’s not to like about hummus? It’s deeply satisfying, nutritious and an all-around crowd pleaser. And while few people, I among them, ever get sick of the go-to version, it’s always fun to try some new things (have you tried my roasted red pepper hummus?) Tonight I was in the mood for a rounder flavor, [...]
