Just sent to me and, I'm making em.....
Indonesian Coconut Rice:
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons organic canola oil
1 yellow onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon ground cloves or allspice
2 teaspoons sugar, or to taste
4 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup shredded coconut
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the onion and garlic, and cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, mustard, red pepper flakes, cloves, and sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir to mix evenly. Gently stir in the coconut. Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat until hot. Cover, and set aside for 5 minutes before serving.
Chickpea Curry:
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup dried chickpeas
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cardamom pods
1 small stick cinnamon
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 fresh hot green chili, halved lengthwise
½ -inch
Fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Tomatoes, pureed
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon mango powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
Sliced onions and fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
For a Roasted Spice Mixture:
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2–3 cloves
teaspoon cumin seeds
1 dried red chili
DIRECTIONS:
1. Dry roast all the roasted spice mixture ingredients and grind to a powder.
2. Soak the chickpeas overnight in 4 cups water. Then place the soaked chickpeas with the soaking water in a pressure cooker with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 18–20 minutes if using a pressure cooker (starting from the time the pressure cooker has a full head of steam), and about an hour if cooking in a pan. The chickpeas should be well cooked—until they are slightly broken. Drain, and reserve the cooking liquid.
3. In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves, and cumin seeds. Stir over medium heat until fragrant. Add onion and sauté for 10–12 minutes until browned.
4. Add the fresh green chili, ginger, and the pureed tomatoes. Cover the frying pan and simmer for 3–4 minutes. Add the salt, turmeric, cayenne pepper, mango powder, and coriander powder. Stir thoroughly.
5. Add the cooked chickpeas and stir gently. Add some of the reserved drained cooking liquid to bring it to the desired consistency. Add the roasted spice mixture, bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat.
6. Serve garnished with sliced onions and coriander leaves.

Vegetable-Stuffed Chayote
Ingredients
2 medium chayote* (8 ounces each)
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped red sweet pepper
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, mince
1-1/2 cups soft whole grain bread crumbs, toasted (2 slices)
Soy parmesan cheese, to taste
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons snipped parsley or cilantro
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon instant vegetable or chicken bouillon granules
1/4 cup water
Directions
1. Halve chayote lengthwise. Place halves in enough cold, salted water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
2. When cool enough to handle, remove seed. Scoop out and reserve pulp to within 1/4 inch of skin. Invert shells; set aside to drain. Chop pulp; drain. If necessary, squeeze pulp between paper towels to remove excess liquid. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, for stuffing, in a large skillet cook mushrooms, sweet pepper, onion, and garlic in soy butter or a smidge of olive oil until tender but not brown. Remove from heat. Stir in chayote pulp, toasted bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of soy parmesan cheese, egg, parsley or cilantro, salt, and pepper. Dissolve the bouillon granules in the water; stir into stuffing. Spoon stuffing into chayote shells.
4. Place shells in a 2-quart square baking dish. Cover and bake in a 350 degree F. oven about 25 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes more or until cheese melts. Makes 4 servings.
To toast bread crumbs, spread them in a single layer in a shallowbaking pan. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven about 8 minutes or until toasted.
