Like any other recipe I find, I have to 'tweak it' a little bit. I would add some canned chickpeas for a little texture (crunch )Drained of course. You put them in the last 15 minutes of cooking ,just to warm them through. GREAT RECIPE!! Live a little and find your own tweaks and you will be amazed at what you can do. For those a little timid about changing recipes, STOP THE MADNESS and get adventurous!!<br/>Bon Appetit !......Rusty
