CURRIED CHICKPEAS WITH CILANTRO
I love this recipe. It is my own creation, informed by dal and curry recipes I've made in the past. It's pretty easy, and great if you are craving Indian food. You can use canned or cooked chickpeas and adjust the spices to your preferences. The cooking time doesn't include the time required to soak and cook dry chickpeas. I don't like to use salt in dishes, but you may choose to add salt to enhance the flavor.

Steps:
- If you are using dry chickpeas, soak and cook them, according to the package directions. (This requires overnight soaking, followed by boiling for about 1 hour.) If you are using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.
- In a 2 quart saucepan, saute onion, garlic, pepper, cardamom, cumin, corriander, curry powder, tumeric, and mustard seeds in oil. (If the spices start to stick and burn on the bottom of the pan, add a little water.).
- When the onions are soft, add the cilantro. Adding water as necessary, stir constantly to cook the cilantro, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add chickpeas. Stir and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve over brown rice.

Steps:
- Drain chickpeas into a colander, saving liquid. Add chicken stock to chickpea liquid to make 2 cups, set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoons olive oil in a large deep frying pan over high heat, then add ground beef, crumbling into pieces as you put it into the pan, and use your favorite seasoning for ground beef. Stir and break up the meat while you start to brown it, about 3 minutes. When meat is broken up, add chickpeas. Keeping heat high, saute meat and chickpeas together until meat is well browned and chickpeas are quite brown, about 10 minutes. (If the mixture starts to stick turn down the heat a tiny bit.).
- Add ground cumin, ground chipotle chile powder, and minced garlic and cook a minute more. Add reserved cooking liquid (with added stock if needed to make 2 cups). Scrape the bottom of the pan with turner to loosen any browned bits, season with salt and pepper, then reduce heat and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-10 minutes.
- Turn off heat, stir in chopped cilantro and 1 T olive oil. Taste to see if it needs more salt or pepper, then serve hot.
