Esta receta le servirÃ¡Â fantÃ¡sticamente a todo amante de los emparedados de atÃºn. Â La alga y el eneldo le dan unÂ sabor a mar y frescura, y la ensalada se puede servir como dip o para rellenar patacones, si le agregan extra aceite de oliva y limÃ³n lo pueden usar como vinagreta, la ensalada de garbanzosÂ un sin fin de usos.</p>

<p>El pasado domingo tuve un dÃ­a espectacular, una buena amiga me pasÃ³ a recoger y me llevÃ³ de paseo al Casco Antiguo, luego fuimos al Mercado en Pacific Mall en donde tuve la oportunidad de comprar el pan de avena por el Baking Factory. Â Es que para mÃ­ la historia de una receta inicia desde que se compran los ingredientes, y cada vez que prepare un sandwich de garbanzos, recordarÃ© el dÃ­a tan excepcional que pasÃ© con mi amiga, cruzando el Puentes de las AmÃ©ricas, solo por un molde de pan artesanal, pero valiÃ³ la pena. Â Ya utilizarÃ© las sobras para hacer tostadas francesas de desayuno, es muy versÃ¡til y ligero.</p>
<p>SÃ© que cuando vean la lista de ingredientes me gritarÃ¡n &#8220;CÃ³mo asÃ­ que 15 ingredientes para una ensaladita de garbanzos!!!!&#8221; Pero les aseguro que cada ingrediente tiene un buen propÃ³sito y esta receta es super flexible, todo, incluyendo los garbanzos, son reemplazables asÃ­ que les invito a que utilicen esta receta como una base para cuando les inspire hacer un sandwich vegetariano o un dip de leguminosas.</p>
<p><a href="https://instagram.com/p/6hzMVTJwID/" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3402" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Healthy-Sandwich-chickpeas.jpg" alt="Healthy Sandwich chickpeas" width="405" height="405" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Healthy-Sandwich-chickpeas.jpg 960w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Healthy-Sandwich-chickpeas-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Healthy-Sandwich-chickpeas-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Healthy-Sandwich-chickpeas-90x90.jpg 90w" sizes="(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Ingredientes</strong><br />
Pan (sugiero uno que se pueda tostar fÃ¡cilmente)<br />
2 Tazas de Garbanzos (1 Lata/15 oz)<br />
3-4 cdas de Mayonesa<br />
1-2 cdas de Crema Agria<br />
2 cdtas de Alcaparras, picaditas<br />
1 cdta de Mostaza Dijon<br />
1 cdta de Aceite de Oliva<br />
1 cdta de Jugo de LimÃ³n<br />
1 hoja de Alga (nori), tostada y picadita<br />
1 Chalote (shallot) pequeÃ±o, picadita (2 cdas)<br />
3 dientes de Ajo, picaditos en purÃ©<br />
1 cdta de Braggs Aminos o Salsa de Soja<br />
3 cdas de Nueces<br />
Sriracha u otra salsa picante al gusto<br />
Eneldo fresco, Sal y Pimienta al gusto</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3417" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Ingredients-Chickpea-Salad.jpg" alt="Ingredients Chickpea Salad" width="534" height="394" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Ingredients-Chickpea-Salad.jpg 906w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Ingredients-Chickpea-Salad-300x221.jpg 300w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Ingredients-Chickpea-Salad-122x90.jpg 122w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" /><strong><br />
Instrucciones</strong><br />
1- En un bol combinar el jugo de limÃ³n con el ajo picadito, la mostaza, alcaparra, el chalote y el aceite de oliva.<br />
2- Â Agregar los garbanzos en cuatro partes, y con la cuchara hacerles purÃ© (si tienes un procesador bÃ¡sicamente puedes poner todo junto y procesar hasta que tenga la consistencia de tu preferencia).<br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3423" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Garbanzo-crushed-salad1.jpg" alt="Garbanzo crushed salad" width="451" height="338" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Garbanzo-crushed-salad1.jpg 2048w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Garbanzo-crushed-salad1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Garbanzo-crushed-salad1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Garbanzo-crushed-salad1-120x90.jpg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px" /><br />
3- Ya con el garbanzo completamente molido, agrega el resto de los ingredientes e incorpora todo con una cuchara grande.<br />
4- La Sriracha es opcional, a mÃ­ me gusta mucho el sabor que agrega a los garbanzos, solo que si no eres amante del picante ten mucho cuidado y con cada agregada, prueba la mezcla.<br />
5- Tostar el pan con mantequilla por ambos lados, en temperatura media alta, esto te asegura una superficie tostadita y caliente, con un pan suave por dentro.</p>
<p>La calidad de tus ingredientes marcan la diferencia en los sabores de tus sandwiches, un buen pan, buena mayonesa, hierbas frescas, todos son detalles para crear un plato sencillo, pero delicioso.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2659 aligncenter" alt="Raw Fair Trade Honey" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Raw-Fair-Trade-Honey.jpg" width="480" height="490" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Raw-Fair-Trade-Honey.jpg 600w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Raw-Fair-Trade-Honey-294x300.jpg 294w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Raw-Fair-Trade-Honey-88x90.jpg 88w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></p>
<p>I grew up eating more raw cane sugar than honey and when my mom would give me honey, it would be served with lime juice and red raw onions, mostly when I was feeling under the weather. Rosemary is also another ingredient used as medicinal herb in my family, so you can imagine my face the first time I had Rosemary Bread, but I&#8217;ll tell you more about that story another time.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been a fan of citrusy flavors, specially limes and one of my favorite snacks used to be either fresh squeezed lime juice with a pinch of salt, or mixed with honey, or both!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not familiar with the way honey is produced in Panama, even less in the United States. Â I tried raw honey for the first time a few years ago and the term &#8220;Fair trade&#8221; is something I&#8217;ve heard more about in the past years, and I heard it regarding about chocolate and coffee. Â I still have much to learn about this term and type of practice, since it&#8217;s a wonderful experience when you can get a product that brings together, fair trade and deliciousness.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Fair Trade certification delivers honey straight from Mexico and Brazil..&#8221; &#8220;&#8230;Producers are small family farms organized in cooperatives or associations, which they own and govern democratically.&#8221;Â <a title="Fair Trade USA" href="http://www.fairtradeusa.org/products-partners/honey" target="_blank">&#8211;</a></em><a title="Fair Trade USA" href="http://www.fairtradeusa.org/products-partners/honey" target="_blank">Â FairTradeUSA.org</a></p>
<p>A few days ago I found myself between the isles of Whole Foods. Â I went strictly to buy coconut nectar or something like that. Â You see, I know sugar is sugar, and calories are calories and between the Vegan and Paleo diet advocates, both supporting and contradicting all sorts of sugars, I swear, it can get overwhelming. Â So while I was holding a bag of $10 Raw Coconut Sugar and a $8 bottle of Agave nectar, I asked myself: &#8220;What do I want to taste the next time I eat pancakes, or a toast with butter, and I remembered, honey&#8221;. Â I googled brands for a few minutes and some sites mentioned Wholesome Sweeteners Raw Fair Trade Organic Honey, so I bought a $6.49 bottle of honey.Â <em>(Yes, I paid for this product, and no, I was not sponsored byÂ <a title="Wholesome Sweeteners Raw Honey" href="http://wholesomesweeteners.com/Products/productdetail/tabid/170/PId/22/Organic-Raw-Honey.aspx" target="_blank">Wholesome Sweeteners</a>).</em></p>
<p>So far, no regrets! I tried a little spoonful, its creamy texture gave me tons of ideas for sauces and baked goods I could make with it. Â I added a pinch of salt, heaven! Â I spread it on top of buttermilk pancakes, potato bread, sweet potato gluten-free pancakes (recipe coming up soon!) and still delicious. Â The next time I&#8217;ll try it with fresh squeezed lime juice for old times sake and maybe in a drink. Â I&#8217;ll keep you posted! (I see baklava and honey tarts in the near future!).</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong>Â this honey has a strong nectar flavor, it comes in a plastic container (why!?), it&#8217;s not sugary (to my taste, at least my teeth never hurt when I tried it) and it is a bit on the expensive side.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Tell me about your favorite Honey brands, if you don&#8217;t like honey or using it, what product do you recommend? Â Have you tried Manuka Honey?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong>Â My mom read this post and told me the main reason why we never used honey for cooking/eating is because we could barely afford it and when we would buy it, it was to be used as a medicine.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Wholesome-Sweeteners-Honey.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2660 aligncenter" title="Wholesome Sweeteners Honey" alt="Wholesome Sweeteners Honey" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Wholesome-Sweeteners-Honey.jpg" width="592" height="432" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Wholesome-Sweeteners-Honey.jpg 823w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Wholesome-Sweeteners-Honey-300x218.jpg 300w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Wholesome-Sweeteners-Honey-123x90.jpg 123w" sizes="(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px" /></a></p>
<p>Yo crecÃ­ comiendo mÃ¡s miel de caÃ±a que de abeja y cuando mi mamÃ¡ me daba miel de abeja me la daba con limÃ³n y cebolla picadita, mÃ¡s que todo cuando me sentÃ­a enferma. Â El romero es otro ingrediente que en mi familia se utilizaba mÃ¡s con propÃ³sitos medicinales asÃ­ que pueden imaginarse mi reacciÃ³n al probar por primera vez un pan con romero, pero de ese cuento les aviso en otro momento.</p>
<p>Siempre me han encantado los sabores cÃ­tricos, especialmente el limÃ³n es uno de mis meriendas favoritas con Â un poquito de sal o con miel, o con ambas.</p>
<p>No estoy muy familiarizada con la forma en que se produce la miel de abeja en PanamÃ¡, mucho menos en Estados Unidos. Â ProbÃ© miel cruda por primera vez hace unos aÃ±os atrÃ¡s y escuchÃ© el tÃ©rminoÂ &#8220;Fair trade&#8221; (comercio justo) al mismo tiempo. Â Lo escuchÃ© mÃ¡s que todo para productos como el chocolate y el cafÃ©. Â  Tengo todavÃ­a mucho por aprender de este tÃ©rmino y prÃ¡ctica ya que es una experiencia maravillosa cuando se puede obtener un producto de comercio justo y tambiÃ©n delicioso.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;El Comercio Justo le ofrece a los productores un precio mÃ­nimo de la miel y sus vÃ­nculos apicultor cooperativas administradas directamente con compradores de Comercio Justo, eliminar intermediarios y allanando el camino para la sostenibilidad a mÃ¡s largo plazo.&#8221; </em><a title="CLAC - Comercio Justo Redes" href="http://clac-comerciojusto.org/redes/red-miel" target="_blank"><strong>CLAC</strong></a></p>
<p>Unos dÃ­as atrÃ¡s estaba visitando el super mercado, fui especÃ­ficamente para comprar agave de coco o algo asÃ­. Â SÃ­, yo sÃ© que azÃºcar es azÃºcar y calorÃ­as son calorÃ­as, y entre los defensores de dietas vegana y paleolÃ­ticas y sus contradicciones con respecto a todos tipos de azÃºcares, la verdad es que apabullante. Â AsÃ­ que mientras sostenÃ­a un bolso de azÃºcar cruda de coco y una botella de nectar de agave, me preguntÃ© a mÃ­ misma:Â &#8220;QuÃ© quiero probar con mis prÃ³ximos pancakes, o en una tostada con mantequilla, y recordÃ©, miel de abeja&#8221;. Â BusquÃ© en google por diferentes marcas y algunos sitios mencionaron este producto de Wholesome Sweeteners Raw Fair Trade Organic Raw Honey, asÃ­ que comprÃ© una botella de $6.49 de miel de abeja. <em>(SÃ­, yo paguÃ© por mi producto, no, no he sido patrocinada por <a title="Wholesome Sweeteners" href="http://wholesomesweeteners.com/Products/productdetail/tabid/170/PId/22/Organic-Raw-Honey.aspx" target="_blank">Wholesome Sweeteners)</a>.Â </em></p>
<p>Por ahora no tengo quejas del producto. Â ProbÃ© una cucharadita de miel, su textura cremosa me dio muchÃ­simas ideas para salsas y postres que puedo hacer. Â AgreguÃ© un poquito de sal, fue una delicia, la untÃ© en mi pancakes, pan de papas, y unos pancakes de camote (receta pronto) y aÃºn, deliciosa. Â La prÃ³xima vez le probarÃ© con un poco de jugo de limÃ³n para recordar los viejos tiempos y tal vez en una bebida. Â (Â¡Ya veo baklava y tartas de miel de abeja en un futuro cercano!).</p>
<p><strong>ConclusiÃ³n:</strong>Â esta miel tiene un sabor fuerte a nectar, viene un contenedor plÃ¡stico (Â¿Â¡por quÃ©!?) , no sabe azucarada, por lo menos mis dientes no me dolieron al probarle, y la miel si es un poquito cara.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CuÃ©nteme de su marca de miel de abeja favorita, y si no le gusta el sabor de la miel o usarla en general, Â¿quÃ© producto recomienda? Â Â¿Ha probado la miel de Manuka?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Nota:</strong>Â Mi mamÃ¡ leyo esta publicaciÃ³n y me dijo que la razÃ³n principal por la cual no consumÃ­amos miel como alimento era porque no podÃ­amos darnos el lujo de comprarle por limitaciones econÃ³micas asÃ­ que solo le utilizÃ¡bamos medicinalmente.</p>

<strong>Chocolate Brownie Mix, no shame baby!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I love trying new products and though you can make brownies from scratch quickly, I still wanted to try a Gluten-Free version and I saw this package at a Target and got it!, (I think I&#8217;ve seen it too at Whole Foods too), they sell also sell Pancake and Scones mixes I believe. Â </span></p>
<p>I purchased the small bag and followed the directions which only asked for oil and water, I used organic coconut oil, added vanilla extract and chocolate chips.</p>
<p>It took me 2-3 minutes to get everything, mix and and the oven was already hot (I was bakingÂ <a title="Kale Chips w/ Olive Oil" href="https://www.cocinerita.com/40-minutes-sunday-brunch-menu/" target="_blank"><strong>Kale chips</strong> </a>before making the brownies, I just can&#8217;t stop baking kale,something I never thought I would say) The mix baked in 13-14 minutes. Â It was so quick! Â in less than 20 minutes I was already eating brownies ha!</p>
<p>Overall it came out fudgy, soft, I loved the chips I added but they were semisweet so the brownie ended up being too sweet for my taste, I served with a pinch of sea salt on top to balance it out. Â Next time I would definitively add walnuts and bittersweet chocolate chips.</p>

<p>I grew up afraid of brussels sprouts, mostly because my mom never cooked these for me or my brother and sister. Â I would watch movies and the kids would always hate brussels sprouts so I never thought I was missing anything.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure I smelled it from someone&#8217;s lunch box and then it wasn&#8217;t too pleasant (I do not like reheated brussels sprouts, it&#8217;s a no no for me!).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-1855" title="roasted brussel sprouts sacha oil 5" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-5.jpg" alt="" width="522" height="350" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-5.jpg 745w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-5-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-5-134x90.jpg 134w" sizes="(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px" /></a></p>
<p>Then I moved to US and worked with Chef Andy and it was in the menu, Â these veggies were not part of my station but I got to smell the roasted brussels sprouts the other cooks would work on daily and then before servingÂ sauteÂ in butter, they were delicious and it totally changed my perspective of these vegetables. Â Another time I went to my favorite Pizza place <a title="Pupatella Pizzeria" href="http://www.pupatella.com/_/home/home.html" target="_blank"><strong>*Pupatella*</strong></a> and I found this appetizer, Fried Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar and Green Apples, I thought it was too strange, but then I ordered it, and from that day on I have kept ordering it every time I go there.</p>
<p>I wanted to have my own version of brussel sprouts, I remembered what I like the most of each dish I&#8217;ve tried,Â crispiness,Â saltiness, etc.</p>
<p>Also I was sent a bottle of Sacha Vida Oil and I wanted to try it in a dressing, but it is too cold, and I am not craving any cold salads so I decided to try this oil to roast the sprouts and the flavor worked pretty well, light nuttiness, mild flavor that didn&#8217;tÂ overpower the sprouts.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-1857 alignleft" title="roasted brussel sprouts sacha oil 7" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-7.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="550" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-7-124x300.jpg 124w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-7-37x90.jpg 37w" sizes="(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px" /></a></p>
<p>So here we go:</p>
<p><strong>Serves 4</strong><br />
<strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
&#8211; Â 1 lb Brussels Sprouts<br />
&#8211; Â 1 Green Apple<br />
&#8211; Â 1.5 tbs of Sacha Inchi Oil<br />
&#8211; Â 1/4 cup dried cranberries<br />
&#8211; Â 1/4 cup roasted walnuts<br />
&#8211; Â 4 tbs of balsamic vinegar reduced to half (if your vinegar is too liquidity, if it&#8217;s thick enough just use 2 tbs of the vinegar)<br />
&#8211; Â Salt &amp; Pepper</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-1854" title="roasted brussel sprouts sacha oil 4" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-4.jpg" alt="" width="573" height="385" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-4.jpg 819w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-4-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/roasted-brussel-sprouts-sacha-oil-4-134x90.jpg 134w" sizes="(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Directions:Â </strong><br />
&#8211; Â Preheat oven to 375F<br />
&#8211; Â Slice your apples in cubes, or julienne, as you prefer.<br />
&#8211; Â Peel the outer skin of the brussels sprouts. Â Trim the end and cut them in half.<br />
&#8211; Â Toss them in a mixing bowl with the oil, salt and pepper.<br />
&#8211; Â Place the sprouts on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes, turn them and bake for another 10 minutes (I like mine really roasted so the last 10 minutes I&#8217;ll increase the heat to 400F, but don&#8217;t let them burn!)<br />
&#8211; Â Once they are ready place back in mixing bowl with the vinegar, walnuts, apple and cranberries, toss and serveÂ immediately!</p>
<p>I love my salad warm and I usually have it as a started or as a side dish!</p>
<p>Let me know what&#8217;s your favorite way to cook Brussels Sprouts!</p>

Â I did some research and though I&#8217;m not a big fan of faux meats I have a found a few ones I like to indulge once in a while so I thought the <a title="Tofurky Roast" href="http://www.tofurky.com/tofurkyproducts/holiday_products.html" target="_blank"><strong>*Tofurky Roast*</strong></a> seemed like a good dish to add to the menu. On Thanksgiving Day I thawed it, sauteed it, basted, etc. Â I followed all of the instructions, added extra kick/spice touches and yet I didn&#8217;t enjoy it a bit. Â It wasn&#8217;t horrible, it had a strange flavor even after I sliced it and sauteed with garlic and olive oil. Â Since I didn&#8217;t like it much, I decided to do something else with it so it wouldn&#8217;t go to waste. Â I chopped it into mini cubes to mix with a fried rice and with half of my stuffing. Â The flavor was so strong I didn&#8217;t enjoy the fried rice or the stuffing at all. <a href="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tofurky-Roast-Cocinerita-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-1770 alignright" title="Tofurky Roast Cocinerita 1" src="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tofurky-Roast-Cocinerita-1-300x231.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="231" srcset="https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tofurky-Roast-Cocinerita-1-300x231.jpg 300w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tofurky-Roast-Cocinerita-1-116x90.jpg 116w, https://www.cocinerita.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Tofurky-Roast-Cocinerita-1.jpg 648w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a> Some folks say may say I over cooked, etc.. but I followed the instructions verbatim, and heck I have given good flavor to very bland faux meats in the past, but this I didn&#8217;t manage to doctor and for $8.00 it&#8217;s not worth the hassle. I have to add though that I&#8217;ve tried 2 sliced faux cured meats from Tofurky and they made tasty sandwiches, so either I don&#8217;t know how to work with a Tokurfy Roast, or that&#8217;s just how it&#8217;s supposed to taste and it&#8217;s simply not my thing.
