Company tonight so two recipes were cooked! The main course was Garbanzo Bean (Chic Pea) Chili (pg 93). This was wonderful and really appreciated by our guest from St Thomas who loves well spiced natural foods. I think it is one of the best curries I've tasted. I substituted regular mustard seed for the black ones called for and used powdered cumin instead of the cumin seed and it was delicious. Just a wonderful array of flavors. Try it . You will love it.
The other dish was a dessert: Chocolate (Carob) pudding, check ++ (pg 74). You will never guess what the three ingredients are. Well, yes, Carob powder is one of them. Did you know that Carob powder is a great source of calcium? In fact, it has more calcium than milk. It has a sweet chocolate taste but 60% less calories than chocolate. It grows as a 4-6" pod on a tree and is ground into flour. It grows in the Middle East and is referred to in the Bible. It is believed to have been the pods mentioned in the story of the Prodigal Son.
Any guesses on the other two ingredients? ............ hint: no cooking necessary, raw and full of vitamins.........................?
