Lemon-Tahini Quinoa with Raw Chickpeas image

On a slow day, I tried sprouting chickpeas. After eating quite a few, I tried planting a few. They grew into the most beautiful seedlings I have ever seen. And now I am harvesting fresh garbanzo beans. I tossed them into a quinoa salad I make frequently with fresh peas. The results were excellent.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too little seasoning.

This recipe is a great base for a grain bowl. I added some grilled chicken and roasted broccoli, and it was a complete meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I must have done something wrong.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of lemon juice next time.
