I have found out one of the best things about eating healthy is the fabulous support system that is just trying to do the same thing I am - eat healthy. Some do it for health reasons, whatever the reason it is so nice to have friends that also enjoy good food that can be modified to please plenty of people.
Chickpea curry with apricots (I am not sure why this is called a curry, we renamed it simply Chickpea dinner)

Loved by Jenna- In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat
- 3 TB olive oil
- Saute until golden, about 5 minutes:
- 1 onion, diced
- Add and cook about 1 minute:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Chili powder
- Dried oregano
- Salt & pepper
- Add and cook for a 6 minutes:
- 15oz can chickpeas
- 80 g dried apricots, chopped (mmm, I double and put in lots)
- 15oz can chopped tomatoes
- Add and cook until apricots are very soft:
- 200mL veggie broth
- Take off heat and stir in:
- 1 TB fresh lemon juice
- 2 TB parsley, fresh is preferred, chopped
- Serve over rice.
This is such an easy, fast recipe for me to make. I could definitely add it to my weekly list of foods to eat. The engineer and I thoroughly enjoy this dish. The girls on the other hand do not love it like us. They love the chickpeas and pick them all out to eat. How does Miss L who is my tomato lover not like cooked tomatoes? Crazy girl!
En Guete!
