<p>This was a HUGE hit last night with my picky vegetarian daughter, and it took about 10 minutes to make. </p>

<p>Vegetarian Curried Indian Chickpeas
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1/2 cup vegetable broth
* 2 15 1/2 ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
* 1 tsp curry powder
* 1 tsp coriander powder or turmeric
* 1 tsp cumin
* 3 tbsp prepared chutney
* 2 15 1/2 ounce cans diced tomatoes (I only used 1 can)</p>

<p>Preparation:
Saute the onion in olive oil until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. While the onions were cooking I microwaved the garbanzos in their juice for a couple of minutes to soften them. </p>

<p>Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine well. Cover, and allow to cook for at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.</p>

<p>I was at a party last night where one of the items was the most delicious meatballs. Turned out it was the chili sauce - grape jelly recipe mentioned in this thread! Who would have thought! I’m about to start another thread with one of the other treats from this party.</p>

<p>Also, despite the sage advice I received here about not trying it, I’m experimenting with the brisket recipe in my crock pot today. My butcher told me he thought it would work as long as I “added a tablespoon of chopped garlic”, which I did. :^)</p>

<p>SorryChiSquare…I didn’t look back here for a few days. I buy precooked meatballs. They seem to have been browned already. The ones I buy are Mama Lucca’s, I think and they are called Homestyle…not Italian. But I have also made them with the turkey meatballs from Trader Joes.</p>

<p>Glad you got to try them already, without having to do any work!</p>

<p>Trying the Greek cinnamon chicken recipe tonight.</p>

145

<p>swimcat, no sorry, it isn’t 4 ingredients, but it is so good and not that difficult make! Sorry if I mislead you.</p>

146

<p>I knew it wasn’t 4 ingredients. I just posted it in that thread and realized it was the wrong place.</p>

<p>Just ate it. It was good.</p>

<p>Have you tried any of her other recipes? The spicy chicken and mango looks good.</p>

147

<p>No I have not but I intend to try some. This was the first one that I tried. I really liked this one (just loved the flavor). It is about the max. amount of effort that I usually want to put into weekday meals.</p>

148

<p>Does anybody have a recipe for broccoli and cavatelli…the NEW YORK ITALIAN STYLE(COLD)…lots of garlic and oil, but I can’t tell what else needs to be in it.</p>

<p>Love this thread. We (H & I but he is the cook. I am the recipe finder) have tried a few recipes, liked them and will use them again.</p>

<p>Our next try is the Vegetarian Curried Indian Chickpeas. It sounds good.</p>

<p>Our diet is very low saturated fat. We both love beef, etc. but can not eat a lot (high chol). We also have a veg D. Some of your veg. recipes have been tasty!</p>
