dgold chickpea stew apr 16

We’d normally be suggesting a Sunday roast but here’s a healthy, tasty and filling recipe the whole family will love. Not to mention another one of your 5 a day!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pinch piece of ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (or more or less to taste)
  • 400g of cooked chickpeas (or 1 tin, drained)
  • 4 chopped tomatoes (14oz) or 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
  • Pinch of sugar (optional, to cut through the acidity of the tomatoes)
  • 3 generous handfuls of fresh baby spinach
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped (optional)
  • Squeeze of fresh lemon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to tast

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large lidded pan over medium heat.

Add the onions, and fry until translucent.

Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for a couple of minutes more, stirring frequently.

Add the garam masala, cumin and cayenne pepper, stir so that the onions .have a nice coating of the spices, cook for just a minute until the spices are a little toasted.

Add the chickpeas and stir well so they are covered in oil and spice.

Add the tomatoes and sugar (if using), give everything a good stir, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes on low-medium heat.

Add the spinach in batches, and stir until the spinach is wilted.

At the end of cooking, add a sprinkling of fresh coriander, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

Serve with rice or naan.

whats-in-french-omelette2

Brunch, lunch or dinner in 15 minutes.

 Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1½ tablesp. olive oil
  • 4-6 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 8 eggs, beaten with 2 tablesp. freshly grated cheese
  • A little salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped parsley

To Cook

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes until nearly cooked and beginning to brown. Add the onion and continue to cook until the onion is just golden, then add the garlic.

When the potatoes are just cooked, season the egg mixture and add to the potatoes. Stir well and allow the eggs to cook on the base. Place a plate over the pan, carefully turn the omlette onto the plate, then slide back into the pan to cook the other side.

Serving Suggestions

To serve, sprinkle with parsley and cut into wedges.

Note

You can add other ingredients, whatever is available – chopped ham, bacon, scallions, mushrooms. You can of course use up cooked potatoes, but the flavour is much better if you start out with uncooked.
