Try it, You'll Like It!

Well, since it's become such a huge part of my life it makes sense that it should find its way on to my blog: the food I eat. Since going veg I've discovered new ingredients and new ways of cooking so I thought I'd share some of the more successful recipes I find in the hopes that it might inspire some of you to incorporate all veg meals into your food repertoire. The recipe that follows is ridiculously easy to make. Visit the International food aisle of the grocery store and you should find every thing you need for this delicious, easy, vegetarian (!!) meal. There is food after meat.

Chana Masala














1 can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) in water
1/2 onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, diced
3 tbsp olive oil (or less) juice from one lemon (approx 2 tbsp)
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp of garam masala
1 large bunch of fresh spinach

Sautee the onions and garlic in olive oil until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add the chickpeas straight from the can, including all the water. Add spices and lemon juice, cover and simmer about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more water if needed, until chickpeas are browned and soft. Reduce heat, add spinach and cover. All spinach to wilt for 2-4 minutes. Serve immidiately.
