Hi,

this is a nice comment with a recipe I recieved from dangermencooking2.wordpress.com :

Here is one of my favorite recipes for Lent. You can find it on my blog.

This is an Orthodox Lent compliant curry. It is rich and spicy, but not hot! It is best served over white or jasmine rice. Margarine is optional.

Ingredients:

* 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
* Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
* One 10 ounce can Rotel original tomatoes with chiles
* 1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
* 6 baby (new) red potatoes (about 12 ounces), quartered
* 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
* 1 Tbsp margarine
* 2 teaspoons minced ginger
* 1-2 teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method:

1 In a large pot, combine the broth, chickpeas, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, margarine, ginger, 1 teaspoon of salt, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Stir to mix and cover the potatoes in the liquid.

2 Set the pot, uncovered, over medium heat. Simmer vigorously for about 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add more salt to taste. Serve the curry in bowls over white or jasmine rice.

Serves 6.

Ingredients:
4  Wraps
1 cup cooked White Rice cooled
1 Mango diced
1 cup Corn Kernels cooked
1/2 Red Bell Pepper diced
1/2 Green Bell Pepper diced
1/2 cup Scallions thinly sliced (or white onions, chopped)
1 Tbsp. fresh Oregano
1 clove Garlic minced
5 Tbsps. extra virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and freshly ground Pepper to taste
1 cup mixed baby Lettuce
1 can Black Beans drained

Method:
In a large mixing bowl, fluff the rice with a fork, separating the grains. Add the black beans, mango, corn, red pepper, green pepper, onion, oregano and garlic. Add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar to moisten. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the lettuce between 4 wraps. Divide the black beans and rice salad and place over the lettuce. Fold and wrap each.

Ingredients:
5 cups dry rice, preferably Basmati
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter
1 tbsp. plain yogurt
1/2 tsp. powdered saffron
2 tsp. boiling water

Methods:
In a bowl, wash the rice 3 times and then soak for 1 hour in lukewarm water to cover mixed with 2 tbsp. of the salt.
Pour 10 cups water in a nonstick pot, add the remaining 2 tsp. salt and bring to a vigorous boil.
Drain the water from the presoaked rice and add the rice to the boiling water.
Stir, cover and bring back to a boil, boiling for 3 to 4 minutes. The rice
should move freely and float to the top of the pot.
Drain the rice in a colander, rinse with lukewarm water and taste. If the rice is salty, rinse with more water. In a large nonstick pot, melt the butter; add 1-cup water and stir.
Set aside half of this mixture. Add the yogurt to the butter remaining in the pot and stir well. Gently spoon the rice on top of this mixture,forming a cone.
Cover. Cook on medium heat until steam is visible, about 15 minutes.
Cook for 15 minutes more, then turn the heat down to low and pour the remaining butter mixture over the rice. Wrap the lid of the pot tightly with a kitchen towel to prevent the steam from escaping and cook for another 45 minutes.
Spoon 1 cup of rice from the top of the pot onto a plate and mix gently with the saffron mixture. Set aside. Mound the rice in the shape of a cone on a serving platter.
Add saffron rice to the top before serving. Remove the crust from
the bottom of the pan and serve separately, cut into squares or
wedges.
