1/2 cup turnip, peeled and diced 1/2 cup pitted and chopped green olives 2 cups chickpeas, cooked 6 ounces artichoke hearts, rinsed and quartered 3 Tablespoons lemon zest 1/4 cup golden raisins 3 Tablespoons chopped parsley 3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro 2 Tablespoons chopped mint Sea salt, to taste Lemon zest [optional] Red Chile, thinly sliced [optional] Cooking Instructions: Step 1: In a small fry pan toast your cumin and coriander seeds for a few minutes until they smell amazing! Once toasted I put all the spices in the ingredient list: cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper and sea salt into my magic bullet. Grind everything together. Set aside. Step 2: Next prep all you vegetables by dicing everything: onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, and turnip. In a large heavy-bottom shallow pot or deep skillet [cast iron works best] on medium heat, add oil, onions, and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and golden, stirring continuously for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3: Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the spices, tomato paste, vegetable stock, carrots, sweet potatoes, and turnip. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender. So I was having a bit of an off day with this recipe starting with the missing ingredients and then completely missing a step in the directions!!! I completely missed cooking the quinoa, but you know I didn't miss it so it still worked out in the end. I think the quinoa would help to make it a bit more of a hearty meal for the Mr. but for me it perfect! This is the part I missed - Also, at the same time begin cooking your quinoa [1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water or broth. Bring both to a rolling boil in the same pan, reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes and serve]. Step 4: When the root veggies are tender, add the olives, chickpeas, artichokes, lemon zest and raisins. Continue simmering for about 5 to 8 minutes. Liquid should be reduced and thicker at this point. I omitted the olives and the artichokes sadly. These are two of my favourite things and I think they really would have added to the dish. I know that I wont forget these next time! Step 5: Add parsley, cilantro, mint and sea salt, folding in all of the herbs. Cover and remove from the heat. Add salt if desired. Garnish with lemon zest, red sliced chili and any leftover parsley, cilantro or mint if desired. And there you have Chickpea with Root Veggie Tagine from Kris Carr's Crazy Sexy Kitchen.

Love Bowl
2 tbsp. dried cranberries 3 organic chicken breasts - cooked and sliced (I manage to make 3 chicken breasts stretch to five meals to keep costs down. The bowls are so filling I find you dont need a full chicken breast) Dressing Ingredients: 2 tbsp. olive oil 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard 1 tbsp. tahini 1 tsp. sesame oil 1 tsp. rice vinegar 1 tsp. sherry vinegar Diced ginger & diced ginger - put as much or as little as you would like, I usually use about 3 garlic cloves and an inch of ginger as I love both these ingredients and they have great nutritional benefits. I am guessing a bit on the dressing quantities as the dressing was an experiment that turned out really good. I am also the type of person to just pour and not measure, I know, I know thats really terrible when you are trying to create recipes for other people to try. Whisk all these ingredients together into a bowl and set aside. Instructions: Step1: Bake the chicken in the oven at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes, until fully cooked and not pink inside. I season with a dash of salt and pepper. Step 2: Cook the quinoa as per the directions on the package and set aside to let cook, or as per my time saving tips below cook on a Sunday night and store in your fridge. Note: Use large bowls!! Step 3: Make your dressing using the above ingredients - Wisk everything together into a small bowl and set aside. Step 4: Start your bowl with a layer of winter greens or spinach mix, and add all your chopped vegetables, beans, quinoa, chicken, top it with raw pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts and the dried cranberries. ( You can substitute any nuts or seeds and dried fruit) Step 5: Add your tasty dressing to the top, you dont need much. I use about 1 tbsp. of dressing per serving but this is really up to your own taste.
Step 1: Set your oven to 450 degrees and get you a baking sheet ready by covering it in tin foil. Put your red peppers and tomatoes on the tray and bake in the over for about 2025 minutes. You should turn them at least once around half way through. They will be done when the outside blackens as per the picture above. Step 2: Prepare your chicken by placing them on another baking tray covered in tin foil. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and a dash of my spicy friend Cayenne. Don't put them in the oven just yet. Step 3: While our lovely red peppers are roasting away in the oven. We can start to prepare the garlic spinach side dish. Dice your onions and garlic and set aside. Step 4: When your roasted red peppers are done remove them from the oven. Before you peel them, let them cool down first. I learned this the hard way and my poor fingers have red pepper phobia now. Cut them open to release some of the heat inside. Once they are cool enough to touch and pick up, peel and seed the red pepper. Throw the red pepper, the roasted tomatoes, and vinegar into a small food processor ( a magic bullet works as well) until the mixture is smooth, and set aside. Step 5: Now to finish the garlic spinach. Heat up some olive oil in your wok, saute the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent. Add your spinach, chard, basil, and salt and pepper and cook until all the leafy green are wilted. Step 6: Now you can dish out your food. I sliced my chicken breast, then added my roasted red pepper sauce and I topped the dish off with some left over winter greens pesto. Lastly I added my side of garlic spinach.
