I discovered this recipe during Lent. The tender chickpea-flour dumplings with chiles and
greens make a healthy meatless dinner that still has plenty of protein. I will warn you that it is spicy and you may want to adjust some of the ingredients if you prefer a milder dish.
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
4 cups finely chopped spinach, divided
⅓ cup canola oil plus 2 tablespoons, divided
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
¼ cup whole-milk plain yogurt
¼ cup finely chopped jalapeño pepper
½ teaspoon salt plus 1/8 teaspoon, divided
2 teaspoons coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon mustard
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 (15 ounce) petite diced tomatoes,
undrained
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
Mix flour, 1/2 cup greens, 1/3 cup oil, onion, yogurt, jalapeño and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
Shape into 12 dumplings.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet
over medium-high heat. Add coriander, cumin and mustard; cover and cook about 30 seconds.
Stir in curry powder and ginger,
then add tomatoes and their juice and tomato sauce; stir to combine.
Stir in
the remaining 3 1/2 cups greens and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer.
Nestle the dumplings into the sauce, cover and cook,
turning the dumplings over and basting with the sauce occasionally, until
tender, about 20 minutes.
OUT NOW: A CALL TO CHARMS (FIRST IN THE
FOREVER CHARMED MYSTERY SERIES)
Chocolate, men, and magic. Who can turn down
that inheritance?
If life had gone as she planned, Lexie Green
would have been teaching English at a prestigious university, not persuading
spoiled, rich women to buy overpriced clothes they didn’t need and often looked
ridiculous wearing. Can you say electric yellow see-through skirts and Torn
jeans with unfinished hems?
Still, although this isn’t the life Lexie would have chosen, all is going well.
At least until Lexie is fired and her deranged ex-boyfriend tries to kidnap
her.
Deciding that it’s better to accept a mysterious inheritance from a great aunt
she’s never heard of rather than end up kept in a cage as her ex’s pet poodle,
Lexie packs up and heads to Kansas. So, what if she has to go by a new name and
live in a town that she can’t find on a map?
Unfortunately, once she arrives in her new hometown, everyone there seems just
a tad off-kilter and Lexie’s cousin insists that the citizens are magical. At
least there are a couple of hot guys hanging around for eye candy.
Even though Lexie doesn’t believe the nonsense about her being the Ravenscraft
Shield, she does believe her father was murdered—a father she never knew
existed, and she investigates his death.
Too bad, whoever killed her father, now wants Lexie dead as
well.

This sounds like a great veggie meal. I'll have to look for some chickpea flour. Chickpeas I have. Flour I don't.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe.
This sounds terrific. I don't eat enough veggie meals and I love curries.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that our grocery had chickpea flour! It turned out to be a nice hearty flour that I ended up using for other savory recipes.
ReplyDeleteNice to know.
