CURRIED CHICKPEA SALAD PITAS

• Add the onions, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, salt and 1 cup water to a glass pint jar. Stir or shake well to mix. Let marinate overnight in the refrigerator, then keep for up to a month in the fridge.

RYAN'S REVENGE

Sauté the onions, peppers and garlic over low heat, adding more oil if necessary, until softened, about 8 minutes, then remove to the pot.
• 3. Stir in tomato sauce, coriander, chili sauce, mole poblano, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
