About this Recipe:
Navid: While whole grains such as barley, oatmeal or brown rice are excellent sources of fibers and amino acids, beans are known for their protein contents as well as vitamins and minerals. Combining these two nutritious ingredients with some good olive oil, fresh herbs and a splash of lemon juice, makes a delicious and healthy dish.
