Health & Family "Biggest Loser" Week 3 Weigh In.

Recipe!

 

OK - this is feeds 8 because I got the big slow cooker and will freeze the leftovers.

Divide by 2 or 4 if you don't want so much :

• soak 500g chickpeas overnight - or pressure cook
• In the morning, In a large saucepan or slow cooker, Saute 2 large onions, 4 cloves of garlic I used one big one - and 1 tbspn fresh ginger in 2 tbspns oil.
• Add spices

4 cloves (woops forgot)
1 cinnamon stick
1 tspn ground chilli powder
3 tspns ground coriander
3 tspns ground cumin (yum)
1 tbspn brown mustard seeds

• Saute til fragrant, stirring occasionally.
• Add 3 cans diced tomatoes and 875ml chicken stock. It also says 2 tbspns brown sugar but I really don't see why that's necessary - I didn't use it.
• Season w/ salt and pepper.
• Drain and Rinse chickpeas and add to pot.
• Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours or high for 2 to 4 hours or until chickpeas are tender. This is in a slow cooker. I did low but there was a bit too much liquid at the end. Should've cooked a couple more hours.
• After this, add 750g sweet potato and cook for another hour or two.
• Just before serving stir through 250ml coconut milk (optional) and chopped fresh coriander.
• Hope you enjoy it.

 

I might have missed it, but didn't see any meat or animal products in there.
What do you call this type of "food" ?

 

Beauty food. Lots of protein and carbs in those chickpeas!
