Beans are one of the most fertility friendly foods. Not only are they low in fat and packed with protein, fiber and important nutrients, but they also contain a high percentage of folate, which boosts fertility in both men and women and helps prevent certain birth defects.
This easy-to-make bean recipe, courtesy of my husband Pierre, makes for a great side dish or healthy snack, and can be served hot or cold. It’s also full of flavor! Try it.
Ingredients:
1 10 oz can of garbanzo beans, drained
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
Recipe:
- Place olive oil in a pot, add diced onion and cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add minced garlic and spices and mix well.
- Add garbanzo beans and cook for 5 minutes.
