  1. My family really enjoyed this. :) Very well balanced meal and it was easy to put together. I didn't drain the chickpeas to add a little liquid to the cooking, and I added a little cayenne pepper. Tasted great over brown rice. Thanks!
     
  2. I wish that this would have been a little soupier. I found myself adding water a couple of times. I would cook the veggies a little longer...a little too crunchy for me. Very easy to throw together. I think I might add some Rotel to give it kick. I must say, I didn't know what a capsicum is. I added a red bell pepper since I wasn't sure which type, but I don't know if that was the right taste. All in all, this one is definitely being added to my cookbook. I will be making it again.
     
  3. Fantastic. A neighbour friend brought this over to us one night when we had a newborn baby. So glad I have the recipe now, it turned out great when I made it, too. As you are an Aussie, I assumed you meant powdered chillies, not American "chili powder" which is a spice blend (and which usually requires large quantities to impart any flavour). I used Herbie's Chipotle Chilli, slightly less than the 1/2 tsp. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Don't forget the salt at the end, it makes the flavours POP!
     
  4. Yummy! This was super simple and tasted great. I served with grilled chicken as suggested for a main meal and everyone was very impressed. Thanks for a real easy meal to make when you've just walked in the door from work.
