Asparagus Socca

Asparagus lovers on a budget will enjoy stretching a few spears of asparagus per person into a main dish. They'll love how the creamy center of the socca completeness the tender richness of the roasted, then baked asparagus. People who don't adore asparagus can focus on the rich onion flavor and the addictive crispness of the socca itself.

This recipe is fast enough for a week night and luxurious enough to be a starter for a dinner party. It uses far less oil than an authentic socca, just enough to keep the vegetables from drying out and to let the socca crisp up.

Chickpea Flour Scramble

Use this savory, fluffy scramble wherever you would use scrambled eggs: with your oatmeal, next to pancakes, or in a burrito or sandwich. With no cholesterol and a lot of protein, folate, and fiber, they're a great way to keep your diet on track too.

Chickpea Flour Scramble will help you through busy times or shortages. Forgot to soak or cook beans? Make a scramble. Make a big batch and reheat through the week. Unlike eggs, a bag of chickpea flour can be dropped without damage, kept unrefrigerated, and lasts for years. Keep a bag of chickpea flour on hand for when you want a more exotic taste for breakfast, as part of your emergency preparation store, or just in case you run out of eggs.
