We all have those meals...the one's we fix weekly for our family. They're quick, easy, or yummy...or quick, easy, AND yummy and often requested by members of our family. Sometimes, though, we get tired of the same things every week, which is why I'm proposing a "recipe swap" of sorts. If you'd like to contribute to and benefit from "Go-To Grub!", please e-mail me your recipes, with "Go-To Grub" in the message line, as many or as few as you like; you might even have them in your sent box because someone has asked you for them in the past! This could potentially be a really great source of variety for our weekly meal plans, so please join the fun! E-mail them as soon as you have some free time so we can get this up and running.

Feel free to pass this along!

Chole Saag (an Indian spinach dish)

This is a go-to meal in the kitchen of Lisa T.!

2 T vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 t+ red pepper flakes
1 t+ ground cumin
2 T+ curry powder
1 (15 oz) can sweet peas, drained
1 (15.5 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 lb chopped fresh spinach or frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 C plain yogurt
1 C chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, cumin, and curry powder, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the drained peas and mash well. Stir in garbanzo beans, spinach, yogurt, and chicken broth. Cook and stir until heated through, then season to taste with salt and pepper before serving. Serve over rice.

Serves 4.
