delightful. i used this recipe to recreate flavors from my trip to peru. i used canned chickpeas and mashed up about 3/4 of the can. i also used a mexican rice mix instead of the brow rice and added jalopeno. try using veg oil instead of olive so you can increase the heat enough to generate some char. we have made this three times in a week...it's quick and delicious.

I am a dog trainer and owner of a boarding kennel in North Carolina. I also breed train and compete with my German Shepherds.
In my spare time I love to try new recipes or invent/adapt recipes to make new dishes. I love to bake yeast breads from scratch and keep sourdough starter on hand.
I am trying to eat healthier and I use very, very few preprocessed foods. I hate the amount of salt in most processed foods as well as the lack of fiber and other essential nutrients.
