I Owed Some Folk a Recipe

[taste_is_sweet]

Edit: I meant Chickpeas! Not Lentils! However, I'm sure the recipe would be fine with both. :)

(Irrelevant comment: Wow, Battlestar Galactica is really, really depressing. For so many reasons. Anyway)

Chickpea, Carrot and Parsnip Curry

I don't have any ingredient amounts, because this is very arbitrary. But I used:

Olive oil for frying
One half or one onion (depending on size), chopped
Some garlic, chopped
Vegetable broth
One can chickpeas
One or two parsnips, peeled and grated
One or two carrots, peeled and grated
One tablespoon or more curry paste of your choice

In a pot suitable for frying in, fry the onions in olive oil. Add one or two cups of vegetable broth (I use water and a bouillon cube) with the curry paste mixed in until it dissolves. Add the lentils, parsnips and carrots. Simmer until finished. Enjoy over rice or with bread.

Ta-dah!

This sounds great! My sister is vegetarian, and it's hard to find recipes I know she can eat. I would have to leave the onions and garlic out, unfortunately, as she doesn't eat them for religious reasons, but I think there would be enough flavor with the curry powder.

Thanks for sharing it!

You're more than welcome! I hope she enjoys it. :)

oh yummy!

This looks delicious! I will definitely try it out later in the week (after I've done some grocery shopping...)

Mmmmm, sounds lovely! Thank you for sharing!

It is lovely to see a recipe that is in this format, it's much closer to how I think about this sort of food :)

Well, I have to admit you were among my inspirations. :) It just makes me really happy that people are interested in my sharing this stuff. It's a lot of fun.

And you're welcome, of course.

Yes! This! Yay, food! Yay, food love!

Hey, I made it! It was good, but made a whole *lot* of stuff! (of course, when you said "one or two" I generally went with two...)
I hope it freezes well, 'cause I ended up having to freeze some, as there was more than the Spouse & I would be able to eat...

thanks for the recipe. it's a way to disguise parsnips (which the Spouse doesn't care for) so that we can both enjoy them...

oh, ha! just saw your edit. I ended up making the recipe w/lentils. It does come out fine, btw. Guess I'll also try it with chickpeas some day...

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

I hope you both enjoyed it. :)

I'm also glad to hear that it worked with lentils!

[springwoof.livejournal.com]

thanks again for the recipe!

I told you that I ended up making lots, right? too much for just us, so I took a bunch in to work. my co-workers ate it right up and pronounced it Good....

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

You are most welcome! I'm chuffed that your co-workers liked it, too. Nice of you to feed them, as well. :D
