In case frances doesn't come back soon, I'll stick my neck out and say yes.the t/T is a common recipe-writing shorthand.

This recipe looks more attractive when you use broccoli. The green of the brocc with the yellow of the turmeric is very colourful.

Try the spicy aubergine and chickpea salad in the vegetarian thread. It is on the last page. One of my favs. I now when baking the eggplant just give it a sprinkle of ras el houlte (sp) moroccan spice.

I use tinned or fresh Chick peas and make a salad topping for taking places it always goes down really well. Toss in oil ( I cheat and put a couple of drops of oil in a click clack container! add patted dry chick peas add what ever herbs and spices in the cupboard like i have done: Garlic Flakes, Mixed herb, Papakia and then mixed herb, curry, garlic. its endless really and toss in mix and then into oven on a flat dish for 10minutes at 180 cool and toss over salad or have in a snack bowl.
