I'll do a little cat palate cleanser and update before I move on to the famous recipe I tried. There has been a little progress in the Bubba/ Kiki saga. Sometimes, if Kiki is in the right mood they can be in the same room, and even on the same couch with no problems. Or, as you can see by Kiki's glare only small problems! But she still randomly attacks him, and he is still totally scared of her. He won't even walk by her unless I'm in the middle as a buffer!!
A few weeks ago a video popped up on YouTube titled spiced chickpea stew. I didn't pay attention to it at first for who knows what reason. But the video wouldn't leave me alone, it just kept being suggested to me. I finally caved and watched it, and decided I needed to try it. It's made by a non vegan, and it's so popular that if you Google "The Stew" it's the first result!!!
The stew is very simple, I had to stop myself from doctoring it because I thought it might be bland. Silly me, it is bursting with flavor and is one of the tastiest things I've put in my mouth recently!! Here is the recipe. The only two things I did differently was use cilantro as a garnish instead of mint, and I only had one can of chickpeas so I used that plus two smallish potatoes.
I served mine with rice and a dollop of coconut cream. This recipe deserves all the love and attention plus so much more. I ten out of ten recommend this, and I will be making this ALOT! It's rich and creamy with a very warming flavor. It's not spicy at all, in fact in the end I did add more crushed red pepper and of course some sambal but I'm a spicy kind of gal, so you could use less crushed red pepper if you're sensitive. I would definitely serve this to non vegans because it's just so good and satisfying that it just stands on it's own. Nothing is missing from this dish. And the ingredients are easy to find and very inexpensive. You could easily feed three of four hungry people for very little money!! Seriously cannot recommend enough!!!
