Chick Peas with Garlic and Green Chillies
—————————————–

Adapted from Madhur Jaffrey’s _Eastern Vegetarian Cooking_. These
quantities serve two, but you can easily double or quadruple them.

Ingredients:

4-6 cloves of garlic, crushed or minced
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
stock or sherry for sauteeing
1 Tbsp tomato paste, mixed with 3 Tbsp water
1 15-oz can chick peas, drained
1 medium-large potato, peeled and diced
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1-2 fresh green chillies, chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
few drops lemon juice
cayenne pepper, if you like it hot….

Method:

Sautee the cumin seeds and garlic in stock or sherry for 2 mins, then add
the diluted tomato paste and cook for 1 minute longer. Then add the chick
peas, water, potato, salt, green chillies, ground cumin, and lemon juice. I
find that one green chilli makes this pleasantly spicy, but if you like it
hot, add cayenne pepper or chili powder at this stage. Simmer for 20 mins.
Serve with bread; I like pitta bread, but crusty bread or tortillas work
just as well.

mented bean curd with thin soy; mix with stock and

Grapenuts Crust

Recipe By : Jennifer Raymond’s Peaceful Palate
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pies Pastry

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Cups Grape-Nuts.
1/2 Cup apple juice, concentrate

Ground the Grape Nuts in a food processor. You can use half of the
recipe if you don’t need the crust to go too far up the side of the
pan. Mix the Grape Nuts and apple juice together and press into the pie
pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake crust for 10 minutes, then let cool if you you are using a cool
filling.

For a pumpkin pie, just add the filling and bake it all at once.

NOTES : I used the Grape Nuts whole with the juice for the crust and it
works well. Just use 1 cup of whole Grape nuts and a 1/4 cup juice.
Then press into the pie pan, this may not go all the way up the sides.
Makes for a thicker crust.
