A Spring Wander and Chickpea Stew with Kale, Tomatoes and Green Chilies

In the midst of some rather frantic packing this past week, I had some beloved rellies come to town for a visit. They were a welcome respite from all the hustle and bustle and after a fabulous roast chicken dinner by Mums, we donned jackets and scarves and headed out into the glorious sunshine for a trek over the hills. I thought you might like to join us. :-)

In anticipation of much packing, cleaning, sorting and very little cooking, I made large batches of things such as Cauliflower Gratin with Tomatoes and Feta, and Chickpea Stew with Kale, Tomatoes and Green Chilies to see me through the week. They were unfamiliar dishes with odd but intriguing ingredients, so I figured they'd keep from getting foodily bored whilst I moved. They were just the ticket! Tasty, interesting and healthy as all get out. :-)

Alas, I can't give you the recipe at this time, only the location, because in spite of diligent searching of boxes, I can't for the life of me find the cookbook. :-)  Grrr. I will try to have it for you next week. :-)

I wish you a lovely weekend. :-)
