It had to be a BBQ in this lovely weather and that gave me a chance to use the punnet of bean sprouts that came in the veg bag as an accompaniment . These are not the bean sprouts you have with Chinese food they are the sort you get if you sprout your own beans so you get the bean and the sprout. These were a mixture of lentils, chickpeas and other beans. I looked up a few recipes and a some of the ones for sprouted chickpeas said to cook them so I boiled them for a couple of minutes and then drained them and put then in cold water. I added half a chopped red pepper, a couple of table spoons of chopped parsley, half a red onion finely chopped and made a vinaigrette with cider vinegar. They were good. "surprisingly good" apparently!
