High Protein Chickpea Curry

• 240 grams Chickpeas or garbanzo beans (I used canned beans)
• 400 grams Canned whole tomatoes (or tomato juice)
• 1 large Onions (finely chopped)
• 3 Green bell peppers
• 1/2 Red bell pepper (if you have it)
• 1 Carrot
• 80 grams Bacon (block)
• 3 clove Garlic (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 to 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 130 ml Water
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 Bay leaves
• 2 tsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Japanese style Worcestershire sauce
• 1 heaping tablespoon Ketchup
• 1 couple of pinches each Cumin, garam masala, cardamon, coriander powders
• 1 tsp Balsamic vinegar

1. Use canned chickpeas cooked in water, and whole canned tomatoes.
2. Cut up the vegetables.
3. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
4. Cut the other vegetables and the block of bacon into 1 cm diced cubes.
5. Drain the chickpeas.
6. Heat a pan with the butter and garlic over low heat until it's very fragrant.
7. Add the onion, and saute over medium-low heat until caramelized.
8. Add the vegetables and saute lightly.
9. Add the bacon and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
10. Add the curry powder, and saute (about 3 minutes).
11. Next, add the canned whole tomatoes, crushing them with a spatula.
12. (Or use tomato juice instead.)
13. Add the water, honey and bay leaf as well as the chickpeas.
14. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes over low heat.
15. (Don't cover with a lid!)
16. Stir occasionally so that it doesn't burn.
17. When the moisture has evaporated and the stew has reached the consistency shown here, it's good.
18. Add the ingredients to finish.
19. If you have the seasoning ingredients listed, adding just a little bit will improve the flavor.
20. Bring to a boil and it's done.
21. Incidentally, I keep a variety of spices and curry pastes on hand.
22. These are the curry powders and pastes I used this time.
23. This is just a small part of my collection.
24. I served this with naan bread this time, but it goes well with rice too.
