This is so good that i really couldn't believe it!!! As you might have noticed, i haven't posted too many vegetarian recipes...to me...veggies are sidedishes...n i'd much rather cook the mains..usually with some meat involved (but between the four of us, one eschews pork, two can't take beef and the last one doesn't like lamb...so we are pretty much left with chicken n fish!!!), ...desserts r alright if they make someone happy...but gimme the maincourse anytime...preferably fuss free and straight-forward.....
This simple dish really hits the spot!! It tastes very wholesome and extremely satisfying!!!!!! Love the combination of chickpeas, brown rice, almonds and tahini..!! I can live on this stuff forever...!!
Oh yeah...and aspargus seem to be in season in Adelaide at the moment...so grab them while you can!!! :D

Hi Ioyces,
Sorry for the confusion.
Paprika is made from dried, sweet red bell peppers, whereas the ground red (chili) pepper sold here is spicy. I used both as they give great color and taste to the dish. :)
