Preparation

This recipe can be prepared in a microwave oven, on the stove top, or in a large slow cooker (crock pot).

Wash, clean, peel, and prepare the vegetables.  We recommend that the pieces be about 1/2 inch in size.  Place all of the veggies in the cooking pot.

Open the cans of tomatoes and chick peas.  Drain off the chick pea liquid into your sink, and add the chick peas to the veggies.  Add the tomatoes, and the remaining ingredients.

Bring the ingredients to a boil and simmer until the onions become translucent and a fork will slip easily into the sweet potato pieces.

About one half hour before you are ready to eat, prepare the basmati rice.  We suggest cooking 2 cups of basmati rice in 4 cups of water.  (The flavor of basmati blends wonderfully with curries.)

Serve the Curried Collard Greens, Sweet Potatoes, and Chick Peas over a bed of the basmati rice.  We enjoy this curried dish  with a large tossed salad.

Enjoy!

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):  'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so.   God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV)  Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!  (d-21)
