San Rafael, July 1, 2009 The best way to lower our blood sugars to prevent the onset of Type II diabetes is to eat high glycemic index foods. Fortunately for me, the food with the highest GI is chickpeas, which I love. Try this as a sauce for grilled meat, poultry, or fish over a bed of greens. Just purée a can of drained chickpeas with a cup of chicken or vegetable broth. Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and process until smooth. Add lemon juice, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste. I throw in whatever fresh herbs I am growing on the deck, usually some cilantro, parsley, or basil. It is marvelous over grilled, butterflied leg of lamb.
