“Shed COVID-19”
Week 2 Advanced Prep
Our class will focus on how plant proteins can keep us on a healthy track. We’ll be making Dark Chocolate Chickpea Brownies, Crispy Oven-Baked Falafel Salad Plate and Mashed Chickpea Salads. In this class we’ll be demonstrating the Classic Chickpea Salad (if you prefer the Indian version you can modify the shopping list). Feel free to make all the recipes, one or two, or just watch and learn.
*Please note that the food processor will be used twice - so a quick wash in between will be required.*
To make the most of our time together, there are a few things you will need to do in advance of the class, so please read closely:
Ensure that you have all of the ingredients listed for the recipe
Ensure that you have all the equipment needed on the equipment list
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Measure and prepare your ingredients in advance* (this is called mise en place)
This is a VERY important step to make things run as smoothly as possible.
