Chickpeas should be soaked overnight in enough water to cover them by
4 inches, drained, and rinsed. In a large saucepan simmer the
chickpeas in the water, covered partially, for 1 1/2 hours, or until
they are tender. In a heavy kettle cook the onions and the garlic in
the oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the
vegetables are golden, add the bell peppers, and cook the mixture,
stirring, for 10 minutes. Add the chick-peas with the cooking liquid,
the kale, the tomatoes with the juice, the tomato paste, the chili
powder, the thyme, the oregano, the red pepper flakes, the cumin, the
sugar, and the bay leaf, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the
stew, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Discard the bay leaf, season
the stew with salt, and serve the stew on the couscous or rice. Makes
about 14 cups, serving 8 to 10.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* You can create really nice smoothies by using low carb yogurt. Ok, well, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make them with reduced carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Of course, you will need to ensure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbs and use the whole fruit as you need the fiber.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, leeks and welsh onion)
The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is precious little hard medical proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce the symptoms of colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be included in your diet system.
