Cooking Notes

I only had one avocado, so I bulked it up with a can of chickpeas - which also adds protein, a win-win. I also swapped out the cilantro for basil. It's very tasty!

I haven’t made this yet but 6 tsp. of garlic sounds excessive. Anyone have any thoughts about that?

Had to look up fresh coriander, as I only have seeds. Surprised to learn that it's cilantro because I would have thought it would be called that in an American recipe

I added cooked shrimp and made it a cold summer entrée. Delicious!

After a heavy pork dinner last night, this was just the ticket. Used Italian parsley instead of coriander, since I had a lot in my garden. Very delicious and satisfying with a crusty bread.

Made this as a side dish. Great for the summer. Didn't have coriander, used basil and it tasted good.
