When it comes to using sushi knives, there is absolutely no

 rocket science involved. Just a few basic tips that have to 

be kept in mind while making the right choice warrant a bit of logic. They may be summed up as follows:

Chickpea Salad

Garbanzo or chickpea is a legume that is high in protein and a good source of iron. The first time I ate it I fell in love with its yummy taste, very creamy and nutty. You can use chickpea in different dishes but for now enjoy this delicious and nutritious salad :-). Below are the basic ingredients but you can add more when you serve it, like sesame seeds and basil leaves.

Chicken Macaroni Soup

Since it is cold in my place today, I made this, so that I can have a good sip of a hot creamy soup. Mmmmmmmmm muito deliciosa according to my Portuguese friend, which means very delicious. :-) I know they are not biased. Seriously , it is really yummy, so try this recipe if you have time.

Procedure:

1. Saute garlic and onion then add the chicken, salt and pepper,  simmer for few minutes.
2. Add the macaroni and saute for a minute, then add water that is enough to soup the macaroni until the cooking is done.
