Mini chickpea muffins

Simply but impressive, healthy and tasty...these mini muffins are crispy outside and soft inside and match perfectly with a creamy topping like that. You can offer them whether as a main course or as a starter and you will make everyone happy: they're gluten free, low fat, low GI and - with a little variation for the topping - also vegan!

"Iron Man" quinoa salad

After Spring quinoa salad, here you are the Iron man dedicated one:
  • quinoa is a pseudocereal rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and iron (4.6 mg per 100 gr);
  • cannellini beans, like other legumes, contain a good quantity of iron (4.5 mg per 100 gr);
  • dried tomatoes are a considerable source of iron (9.1 per 100 gr);
  • and, last but not least, vitamin C contained in bell peppers (166 mg per 100 gr) is really helpful to absorb all non-heme iron above mentioned.
Should I add something to explain the reason why I chose that name for this salad?

Muscolo di grano

Muscolo di grano is a product created by an italian man named Enzo Marascio in 1992, similar to seitan but more nourishing because it contains also legumes flour and - in my opinion - it's even tastier. I don't like to think about these kind of products as "meat alternatives" because this term keep on supporting the idea that meat is necessary to live...and we know this is not true. You can simply call them: "high-protein food to eat every now and then" ^_^
