Chickpeas With Coconut

A co-worker many moons ago gave me several recipes from a cooking class she took with Catherine Devine M.Ed. Since I was vegetarian during my son's formative years, this is one of his home cooking favorites.

2 cups potatoes, diced
¼ cup canola or olive oil
4 cups cooked chickpeas
1 tsp fennel seeds (optional)
1 Tb ground coriander
Juice of 1-2 limes
1 cup grated unsweetened coconut
½ cup water
2 tsp turmeric
½ tsp salt (optional)
2 fresh hot chili peppers (jalenpeños, etc.)

Steam the diced potatoes in a vegetable steamer until tender. Sauté the cooked potatoes in oil until they begin to brown. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes, until the coconut is softened. Serves 8.
