This was a BIG success tonight. Got approval from the Greggers and Jeanners von Beanners who have excellent taste.
I am pleased. I served it with some hummus (an easy recipe) and salad and it was good. The hummus kindof mixed in with it well and made a yummy conglomeration to scoop up with the pita.
Nellie -- "easy" hummus recipe, please.
Rebecca -- can of "cooked" tomatoes ... are they labeled that way, or are they stewed or what?
Sorry, Mir - this was a quick copy-and-paste job from a Lutz email.
I think that's 2 cups of tomatoes-from-a-can. I remember just opening the can and dumping them in, at which point they cook. I probably used cans of diced or crushed tomatoes. (Am guessing the book this is from expected fancier cooks who might actually cook whole, fresh tomatoes to add. Um, no thanks.)
Also, when I made this with the Lutzes, there wasn't a whole lot of measuring involved. We just dumped things in until it tasted good - you may want more tomatoes than it calls for, fewer peas, whatever. It's kind of like a chili recipe; you can do what you want with it.
Yes, I used cans of diced tomatoes and dumped them in. One can equals the roughly 2 cups. I doubled the recipe last night b/c the one lb of meat seemed small in the pan to me and there was going to be a guy with us so I wanted to have enough, but in the end we had a lot of left overs, so the one lb might just have been okay once you add in all the stuff.
