First, I wish to thank all of my friends on the C-H list who emailed me
privately, and on list for their great comments and support, and
appreciation of my submissions to this list over the years. My pepper
plants up 100 ft in the air, on the roof in BIG buckets, are finally
doing something, as the sun is here at last!! Now maybe the tomatoes
will also! Here is a recipe for Chile Chickpeas which I devised last week...
Chile Chickpeas
1	large onion, Vidalia, Walla Walla, or same, chopped medium
3	garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1	hab, seeded and chopped fine
1-2  serranos, seeded and chopped fine
1	tsp good curry powder
1	tsp Calvin's chile powder
2	cans of chickpeas
1	15oz can Rotel or other tomato type
2	tbls lime juice

Cook onion, garlic and peppers in enough oil to cover bottom of pan,
until onion is translucent, add the curry and the Calvin's and then the
two cans of chickpeas, drain one can, then add the tomatoes, and the
lime juice. Notice that there is no salt in this recipe other than is in
the canned veggies,
add more if required....if you wish to have this thicker, then use a
little cornstarch, water mix...1 tbls of each, then add to the
chickpeas....this is spicy, tasty, and is a great way to get meatless
protein..Enjoy, and Cheers, Doug in BC
