BLACKEYED PEAS AND SPINACH

2 c. blackeyed peas, cooked in the pressure cooker (10-15 min)
chopped fresh spinach
chopped tomatoes (from a can 🙁 ) fresh work better.
1 large onion + 2 cloves garlic, pureed
curry powder

Saute the onion/garlic goop (I cheated and used a little spray o’ Pam because
I have no nonstick pans–eeep!) or just cook it until it’s transparent, then
add tomato pieces and ‘saute’ some more, mashing up the tomatoes as you go.
Then add some curry powder (Bolst’s extra hot!). You should have a curry
paste at this point. Cook the spinach in this until it’s wilted, then add
the beans and a cup (?) of bean water and cook on low heat until the stuff is
somewhat dry. I’d have liked to eat it with brown rice, but I’m moving and
I’d packed up my brown rice already…silly me. A little lemon juice on
top, a little nonfat yogurt if you do that kind of thing.

GARBANZO BEAN STEW

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 lb Dried garbanzo beans
10 c Water
4 lb Stew beef or venison, cut
-into 1-inch cubes
1 sm Onion, chopped
1 t Salt
1/2 ts White pepper

Soak the garbanzo beans overnight in twice their volume of water. The
beans will absorb much of the water and swell in size. The following
day, drain and rinse the beans under cold running water. Place the
beans in a large pot with the 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil over
high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2
hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add the meat,
onions, salt, and pepper, stir well and continue cooking another 2
hours until the meat is tender and the beans are fully cooked.
Serve hot with one of the many Indian breads, for example, Indian
Tortillas, Adobe Bread, or Piki Bread. ***** Margaret Archuleta of
Picuris Pueblo taught me the recipe for this simple and satisfying
stew made with garbanzo beans. I first tasted it while celebrating
New Year’s Day with her family.
