Chick Pea and Vegetable Ragout From The American Institute for Cancer Research
1 1/2 cups diced (1/2-inch) onion 2 carrots, sliced (1/2-inch diagonals), about 1 cup 1 rib celery, sliced (1/2-inch), about 1 cup 1 garlic clove, chopped 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. curry powder 1/2 tsp. ground cumin 1 can (19 oz.) chick peas, rinsed and drained 1 can (15 oz.) cut up tomatoes with juices 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 cup frozen cut green beans 1/4 cup raisins 2 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt, at room temperature 2 Tbsp. chopped, dry roasted peanuts (garnish, optional)
Combine the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet that has a tight-fitting lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 10 minutes; do not brown. Stir in curry and cumin; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Add the chick peas, tomatoes, sweet potato, green beans and raisins. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons water as needed to keep the mixture moist. Stir in the zucchini; cover and cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes longer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat; let stand uncovered. In a medium bowl, stir the yogurt until smooth. Add a spoonful of the hot vegetable mixture and stir to blend. Transfer to the skillet and stir to blend. Sprinkle with peanuts before serving, if desired.
