Not last night, but the night before -- made my chickpea curry, but this time added about a teaspoon of harissa paste. Was spicy but addictive. Won't use it every time because the roof of my mouth is still tender from its spiciness, but I'll definitely do it once a month or so. Chickpea curry's kind of my go-to food throughout the week. Very easy to make, makes me feel all kinds of good inside.

I grow fonder of homemade food.

Whats your recipe?
I start out by frying my onions (just a rough chop) in a little bit of olive oil while I mince the garlic and tomatoes. Once the onions are browned to my liking, I add the garlic for about two minutes. Now, I originally also used fresh minced ginger, but it depends on my mood. I generally use about four small roma tomatoes. Throw those on there along with two cans of organic chickpeas (be sure to read the ingredients carefully because most brands have some weird chemical added, even in the "organic" beans). I then add a heaping half teaspoons of turmeric, cumin and garam masala. with a light half teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir well, cook covered for about 10 minutes on medium heat, stir again, lower the heat to low-medium, cook another 15 minutes, stir again, 10 minutes, and then let reduce with the heat and lid off for 5-10 minutes. Be sure to drain most of the water from each can of beans. Takes about 45-60 minutes all told, but most of that time is just waiting for it to do its thing. Amazing, addictive, healthy! :)

Made tri-bean curry.Pinto, kidney, red-kidney beans, sauteed (in ev olive oil) onions and garlic, fresh romas and cauliflower, a little tomato paste, cumin, garam masala, tumeric, sumac and salt. I typically cook my meals either the day before or early in the day, since they take a while. Then, I can just throw the container in the microwave and eat later in the day. Really delicious. I don't use sumac in my other curries, but it gives a wonderful fragrant flavor to the tri-bean curry.
