Lemon-Tahini Quinoa with Raw Chickpeas image

On a slow day, I tried sprouting chickpeas. After eating quite a few, I tried planting a few. They grew into the most beautiful seedlings I have ever seen. And now I am harvesting fresh garbanzo beans. I tossed them into a quinoa salad I make frequently with fresh peas. The results were excellent.
