Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 This is one of my alltime favorite dishes. It's loosely based on something I had in a Lebanese restaurant one memorable day: -Begin Recipe Export- QBook version 1.00.14 Title: Rain's Little Lebanese Addiction Keywords: veganizable, one-dish meals, beans, tomatoes, Middle Eastern 1 can chickpeas, with liquid 1 can Mexican-style sliced stewed tomatoes, with juice 2 smallish yellow summer squash, split and sliced 1/2 a medium-sized sweet onion, sliced 1 to 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1/4 tsp cinnamon (yes, really!), or to taste salt and pepper 1/2 tsp. sugar rice--I like jasmine rice, but any kind will do. 1 clove garlic, cut up (optional) Start the rice cooking; toss in the garlic if you want. In a separate pan, simmer everything else, covered, till squash and onion are just tender and liquid is mostly gone. This goes fairly fast. Stir and check liquid level occasionally so nothing sticks or scorches; add a little water (or tomato juice) if need be, but don't make it soupy. Serve veggie mix over rice; accompany it with tea and finish with a mango or a melon wedge. Serves two. NOTES: If you can't find Mexican-style sliced stewed tomatoes, use plain canned tomatoes and add 1 tsp. chili powder and 1/4 tsp. sugar. Vegans, use this alternative but omit sugar. Don't omit the cinnamon; it's the heart of the flavor. But don't increase it _too_ much, lest you overwhelm the other tastes. Try adding a cut-up clove of garlic to the rice; it's good. Or omit rice and serve the veggies with garlic bread.
