Sprout Tasting in Brooklyn

Here Phebe is sampling three different sprout recipes with some preschoolers at Maple Street School in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn! We tasted some pea shoots with citrus-vinagrette, spicy bean sprout spread on crackers and herbed parmeasan radish and alfalfa sprouts. YUMMY! The kids were a little hesistant at first, but after giving the green stuff a try they loved it! Teachers too! And parents, you said, "my kid will never eat that." Here is a recipe for the Spicy Bean Sprout Spread: 2 cups of pea, lentil and garbanzo bean sprouts 2 cloves of garlic 1 onion 1 avocado Juice of one lemon 1/4 cup of olive oil 1/4 cup of water salt and pepper to taste Blend until creamy in a food processor and then season to taste. Spread on crackers,or dip veggies or tortilla chips in this faux guacamole. Let us know what you think.
