I had this from dinner tonight courtesy of one of my student cookbooks, thoroughly enjoyed it and thought I'd share. :smile:

About 10 sprays of FryLight (though the recipes says 2 tbs oil)
1 medium onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 heaped tsp of morrocan spice mix (I made my own out of 1 tbs each of dried corriander and ground cumin, half tbs ground turmeric, half tsp hot chilli powder)
Half 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (though I rehydrated a handful of dried chickpeas)
Half 400g can chopped tomatoes
Half small cabbage (or a couple of generous handfuls of veg - the recipe suggested spinach)

Roughly chop onion and soften in a heated and sprayed saucepan.
When soft, add finely chopped garlic and spices and fry for a few seconds.
Add chopped tomatoes and mix in well.
When mixture is bubbling, add the chickpeas and cover leaving to cook for about 10 mins
Add finely chopped cabbage (or spinach, kale - whichever you like!), cover and cook for another 5 mins.

The recipe said that this was 1-2 servings....my effort made 2 VERY generous portions, and will have the remaining portion cold tomorrow as recommended by the recipe. They also recommend adding yoghurt, having in a pitta, with naan etc.

The nutritional value using my ingredients was this for the whole pan of food:
486 cals, 80 carbs, 8 fat, 26 protein

    Sounds yummy but being a type 2 diabetic it is way to may carbs for me for one serving. What was the serving size.

    I apologize for my post. I just reread your recipe and the carb count was for the whole pan. I think I may make this recipe. Thanks for posting it.

    Yum - sounds delicious! I'm always looking for new things to do with chickpeas - amazing, I love them now but wouldn't eat them for a million dollars when I was younger...
