I normally do this detox in the spring and figure I should eat alot of fresh fruit and salads. And at that time of year - bring it on! But because it’s fall I want food that’s warm and filling. And looking at the food lists, you’re *supposed* to eat lots of onions, garlic etc. etc. So I asked myself - what do I like to fry up with onions? So I made this.

Chick Pea Tomato Stew

1 T olive oil
1 medium onion
3/4 lb of ground turkey or chicken
3 garlic cloves
1 big can of ground tomatoes (28 oz or 796 ml)
2 t of chipotle or a small chopped jalepeno
1 t cumin
1 t rosemary or oregano
1 19 oz (540 ml) can garbanzo beans, then fill the can twice with veggies. I used one of matchstick cut carrots and one of frozen corn.

Fry onion in oil, add ground meat and garlic. Cook until meat is cooked through. Add other ingredients, cover and simmer, stirring once in a while until veggies are cooked to your liking.

This is good by itself or over brown rice. Made about 4 servings.
