  • 3 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh ginger
  • 4 canned tomatoes packed in tomato juice (reserve the tomato juice)
  • 3 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 15-ounce cans of chick peas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parley

Directions: In a large, heavy skillet, warm the olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, breaking them into pieces with the spatula.
