Lunch - March 10, 2008 - Festive Garbanzo Stir Fry

This recipe combines latin american and India elements for a quick but tasty lunch or dinner stir fry. I was looking for a way to use my garbanzo beans from a recent meal. I also had some field greens, frozen vegetable and a ripe avocado. So here is the list of ingredients:

• Garbanzo beans
• Canned chopped tomatoes
• Frozen corn
• Frozen okra
• Cumin power
• Tumeric
• Slice of lime
• Fresh, ripe avocado
• Field greens

So I first added the beans and frozen vegetables to the skillet with a little water. Note that you may want to rinse the frozen vegetables if there are coated with ice to remove the freezer flavor. Simmer covered until the vegetables are thawed. Add the tomatoes, spices and cook for another 5 minutes until the flavors begin to blend. Arrange a bed of field greens on a plate, spoon on the bean mixture, sprinkle with lime juice and chopped avocadoes and serve.
