You are a miracle

Chickpea Tagine (Moroccan Curry)
2 garlic cloves, sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
2 tsp ground tumeric
salt and pepper to taste
large bunch of fresh parsley or cilantro, tied together with cooking string
2 cinnamon sticks
1 cup cooked chickpeas

Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a skillet with a lid.  Add the garlic, onions, tomato, tumeric, and salt and pepper.  ( I frequently add vegetables that I have in the fridge, such as carrots, parsnips, cauliflower, potatoes, or zucchini)
Pour in one quart of water and add the parsley bundle and the cinnamon sticks. Simmer for 20 minutes.  Add the chickpeas, then discard the parsley and cinnamon.  Season with salt and pepper and serve over rice.


     One more day to serve.
     One more hour to love.
     One more minute to praise.
     For this day I am grateful.
     If I awaken to the morning sun,
     I am grateful.
