Oops, I totally forgot what list I was on. Sorry, Susan!

 

Let me post my recipes for last night's dinner. We had Ethiopian food

with Susan's berbere spice, and the kid said " This stuff is LIFE! " I

served berbere split peas, chickpea curry, roasted leeks, and a green

salad on injera. It was lovely. Pics at

Berbere Split Peas

 

1 cup dry split peas (green or yellow), rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon Berbere spice from

http://www.fatfreevegan.com/beans/berbere_stew.shtml

2 onions, sliced

 

Put peas and spice into a 2-quart saucepan and cover with water by about

1/2 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 45

minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in a nonstick

pan, caramelize onions on low heat by sprinkling them with about 1 tbsp

of water and a pinch of salt, then stirring every now and then. Serve

peas topped by caramelized onions.

 

 

Easy Chickpea Curry

 

1/2 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tsp. coriander

1/2 tsp. fenugreek

1/2 tsp. salt or seasoned salt

1/2 tsp. cumin

2 carrots, sliced

3 small thin-skinned potatoes, cubed

2 cups (or 1 can) cooked chickpeas, drained

 

Sautee onion and garlic in water until onion is translucent. Add spices

and carrots. Add just enough water to cover the carrots. Bring to a

boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover the pot, and cook about 5-10

minutes. Add potatoes. Simmer another 20 minutes, covered. Add

garbanzos and cook, uncovered, until heated through.

I wish. I've tried twice and ended up with a horrible, bitter batter

that tasted even worse cooked, so I wonder if the teff I got was off or

something. I keep meaning to try again, but it's hard to be motivated

to do that when I have a good half-dozen sources of store-bought injera

within walking distance.
