What's Cooking At Your House? (Recipe included)

[Guest guest]

Okay, I used the fresh organic kale to substitute for spinach or whatever in the

recipe for

Pilaf With Beans And Nuts (under Main Dishes and Sides in our Files) which I

posted way

back. It was good :=) - and it was lunch.

 

Then I made a root vegetable casserole, following my Moroccan Potatoes And Lemon

Casserole (also in the Files) recipe, but using a mix of white turnip, carrot,

potato and

parsnip. Very successful - if not exactly authentic to anything!

 

Finally, I defrosted some garbanzos and threw together something I'll call -

 

SPICY MINTED GARBANZO BEANS WITH TOMATO

 

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 large rib/stalk of celery, sliced lengthways then across

2 green/spring onions, sliced lengthways, then across

1/2 tsp dried mint leaves (I didn't have fresh and anyway dried tastes

different)

1/2 jalapeno, very finely sliced

1-1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained

1 tomato, chopped

salt and black pepper to taste

sliced olives for garnish

 

Put oil in a skillet and lightly sautee the next four ingredients until heated

through and to

flavour the oil, add the beans, stir to coat in the flavours and to heat, add

the tomato and

a sprinkle of salt and pepper and stir until the tomato is warmed through.

Garnish with

sliced olives.

 

Best, Pat
