Challenge Chile

Last chance today!

Here's my entering to the Chile Challenge

hosted by At Home With Rebecka

It is autumn, it is getting chilly

and what we need is hot heartwarming soup

full of colour, antioxidants and taste!

My own chicken and chile soup

with red peppers, tomatoes, onions, leek, carrots, chick peas, cellery, garlic,

thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper

and of course chile and chicken!

And some home made bread rolls with pumkin seeds

after all, it is Halloween

Chicken and chick pea soup

It is always time for soup

Warm, thick and tasty.

our throuts are slightly sore,

just when school is about to start for the kids.

I didn't go lightly on the chile!

Experimental muffins

The other day I bought some chickpea flour

because I had seen it in the bhaji recipe.

I've not tried to make them yet,

but I kept wondering

What else can I use this flour for?

Is it ok for baking?

I googled it of course, and found pancakes and indian flat bread etc

and then I decided to try something experimental

what about chick pea muffins?

Next to chickpea flour, I used a bit of wheat flour, eggs, some sugar, pinch of salt,

some milk, some oil, grated carrot, bicarbonate and a bit of bakingpowder.

They looked so good, and they rose so well

and they tasted..

kind of good, and kind of different.

what can I say

Kind of pea tasting muffins if you know what I mean

I couldn't decide if I liked them or not.

You know the smell of soaked dried legumes

before they are boiled. A bit like that!

I found that I liked them best with butter and cheese.

My kids didn't like them
My husband said he didn't like them
but ate the rest anyway (so it couldn't have been to bad)

I might not make them again...
I'll try something else next time. Any ideas?
