Guess what I am doing today! I am making a salad recipe from Dr. Perricone's book, Forever Young. I am going to germinate and sprout my white beans instead of buying it in a can and losing all that nutrition.
White bean and asparagus salad w/watercress
5 stalks green asparagus 15 oz white beans (mine will be sprouted)
1 orange bell pepper
1/2 onion
2 tbsp olive oil cold pressed
2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
sea salt and ground pepper to taste
2 cups watercress, trimmed.
steam 1" cut asparagus for 2-3 minutes
chop and combine everything else except watercress
line bowl with watercress and top with bean mixture
serves 4
Back to the beans!
Germinate: Rinse and soak the beans in a glass bowl covered with (lol..yes...clean pantyhose cut up) in water that has been purified for 8 hours. Rinse and drain.
Sprout: Place in sprouting container, spreading evenly and cover with another stocking. Rinse a couple of times a day to avoid mold. After sprouting (about 24 hours)...rinse and eat!
