Harvest Vegetable Curry

Note: It's a bit of a dry curry dish - but remember it is from a "heart healthy" cookbook.

carrots, squash, broccoli, red pepper, zucchini, celery...(about 4-5 cups of whatever veggies you like)
1 cup cooked chick-peas
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp curry powder
2 tbsp ginger
1 tsp cumin
3 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock or water
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 cups brown rice or couscous

Steam veggies for about 3-5 minutes; add chick-peas and steam for another 3 minutes until veggies are tender-crisp;
Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook curry powder, ginger, cumin, garlic and hot pepper flakes, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Add stock and lemon juice; simmer uncovered for 2 minutes.
Toss veggies with sauce and serve over hot rice or couscous.
(sometimes we add chicken and just cook it in olive oil before dealing with everything else)
