Chickpea couscous
Together with Bitburger 0.0%, we are presenting 25 recipes for mountain bikers and athletes. This time: a chickpea couscous after a long day on the bike.
Ingredients for 2 portions:
- 150 g couscous
- 250 g carrots
- 100 g chickpeas
- 1 onion
- 30 g cashew nuts or nuts
- 300 ml vegetable stock
- 2 tsp tomato purée
- 1 tsp honey
Preparation (15 minutes)
Chop the carrots and onions and sauté in the pan. Briefly add the tomato purée and honey and then season everything. Pour in the vegetable stock, cover and cook for five minutes. Stir in the tinned chickpeas and couscous and leave to soak for five minutes with the hob switched off. Finally, you can add chopped cashews or nuts to taste.
This is what ecotrophologist Günter Wagner says:
"Perfect post-workout meal with a high carbohydrate content to replenish glycogen/carbohydrate stores depleted during training. Provides over 40 grams of readily available carbohydrates at 52 kcal% per serving. Also suitable for a low-fat diet. The contained mineral potassium supports the re-storage of carbohydrates in the muscle cells. The mineral potassium also contributes to normal muscular and neurological functions."
