This was good for DD1 (5 years old) and I since it was so simple. I used organic ingredients except for the spices.

I love simple recipes. This was very tasty and easy to make. It was a hit with our vegetarian household. Thanks.

Super easy recipe. Hard for me to pass by a great new chickpea recipe. Only thing I regretted was making this with a 15 ounce can of chickpeas and 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes. The original proportions would have been preferable. I accidentally drained the tomatoes without reserving juice, so I added about 1/4 cup V-8 juice to reduce to gravy consistency. Also I used about 1 tablespoon olive oil to reduce fat a bit. Thanks!
