  1. In the health food shop I saw something, on the shelf with spices,
    which caught my attention: "Bako, Ethiopian spice-mixture" it's
    called, and it's made from 18 different spices. It came with 3
    recipes, of which one was vegetarian, so I bought it, and will try the
    recipe some day when I have the time. Meanwhile, I thought I'd post it
    here:

    Bako-recipe:

    3 dl cooked chickpeas ½ kg carrots ½ kg regular onions, or red onions 300 g oil or margarine 2 Tbsp
    Tomato puree 2-3 tsp Bako 1 tsp Salt 1 dl water (add more during cooking).

    Chop the onions, slice the carrots, and fry them until they're slightly brown. Add all other
    ingredients. Let it cook at low heat for 2 - 3 hours, adding more water when/if needed.

    Serve with rice, potatoes, or bread.

    [snip recipe]

    A little word of warning: the spice doesn't small all that hot, and when you've just added it,
    you'll think that the dish tastes bland, if you taste it right after adding all of the ingredients,
    but there's a reason why it has to cook for hours: the flavour really does come out more the more
    you cook it, and after 2-3 hours, as the recipe says, it is quite spicy (but in a way so you won't
    really notice until you've chewed and swallowed the first bite).

    I also thought that the amount of fat was a bit high, so I reduced it and added more water. The dish
    turned out fine, if a bit fatty, anyway.

    While we're at the warnings: don't underestimate how filling this dish is. I just had *one* plate of
    it and can't eat another bite.
