Spicy Chickpeas & Beef with Lemon Squash
September 12th, 2008
I’m backlogged — this was Tuesday’s dinner. I made Spicy Sauteed Chickpeas, Beef & Cilantro, but adjusted it a bit, inspired by some feedback from Ranee. I added sauteed onion and sweet red pepper, and omitted the vegetable stock. It was delicious, although I think I like how the chickpeas soften a bit more when there’s more liquid in the pan. It’s an easy recipe to adjust based on what you have in the house. The only thing I think is absolutely necessary is lots and lots of cilantro.
On the side, I roasted yellow squash, which was simply cut into rough chunks and tossed with salt, pepper, a smidgen of olive oil, and lemon juice (from a lemon-shaped plastic bottle, I confess). The citrus flavor was a nice addition, and seemed perfectly matched not just with the light, fresh flavor of the squash but also its sunny color.
