WOW, this is delicious. I had in a bowl all alone and it didn't need any backup from pasta, rice or potatoes. It has the chickpeas in it and that was plenty for me.I used chicken breast for the turkey (I whizzed it in the food processor) and anise seed in place of fennel. These flavors come together and make magic. So glad I tagged this :D.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
