Garbanzo beans are very healthy, full of fiber, no fat, low calories, protein-packed, and have essential vitamins and minerals useful for our bodies. They are full of flavor and so versatile, making them easy to use in a variety of dishes.  

According to Stephanie, the shallots in this recipe don’t overpower the taste too much. When they marinate in the vinegar for a little bit, they aren’t as potent as when they are totally raw. Shallots are from the onion and garlic family. They’re flavorful, boast some antioxidant action-which is good for fighting free radicals.

So let’s see what these two kitchen magicians cooked up for us on this episode of #LunchBreakLIVE.
