The spice of life

Last night I tried a new recipe for Curry Chickpeas. YUM. I know some people aren't fans of curry, but I love it. And it's always nice to use a spice other than the standards!

Sautee some onion and garlic in olive oil

Add a can of tomato sauce and 1/2 c water

Mix in 1 1/2 tsp curry powder (or more, depending on how spicy you want it)

Add 2 cans chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

Simmer 3 minutes

BOOM, you're done

Serve this over rice and alongside your favorite veggies. The kids ate the vegetables and rice, but didn't care for the beans. I think it was a combination of the spice and texture. I LOVE garbanzo beans, but I know they aren't for everyone.

This really was an easy dinner, and it made enough for lunch for 2 people the next day. Woo hoo!
