MAIN DISH CHICKPEAS WITH HARISSA
Recipe from Abigail Donnelly in "Taste", our favourite food magazine. She says of chickpeas: " ...a brilliant source of almost fatfree, quality protein, packed with cholesterol-lowering fibre, and helps prevent blood sugar levels from skyrocketing after a meal, which should make them a diabetic's best friend". They also contain scarce trace minerals, and in their case it's okay to use the canned variety, as chickpeas need a long cooking time. But rinse the canned variety before use to get rid of excess salt. Harissa paste is a North African paste seasoning available from delis or good supermarkets.

Steps:
- If using canned chickpeas, drain in a sieve and rinse briefly under cold water.
- In a pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic and harissa paste, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and chickpeas, then leave to simmer gently for 10 minutes until fragrant.
- Just before serving, add the cherry tomatoes and cilantro (coriander leaves).
- Season to taste, and serve as suggested. Also delicious served with a tomato and onion salad, or with sliced mango.
