I wouldn't serve this as a main dish, but as a side dish, it's a nice start. I added 1/2 cup of lentils along with some extra liquid. In addition, I added 1 tbsp each of ginger and garlic, more curry, and skipped the allspice. I love the idea of barley instead of rice. Thanks for the inspiration!

These are a delicious riff on regular cheese wafers. The addition of the pecans makes them a little sweeter, which is nice. It is VERY important to use the best quality cheddar that you can find. Buy the block and grate it yourself. Trust me-- you will realize the difference.

The description mentions ground cumin, but the recipe calls for cumin seeds? I used cumin seeds but will definitely switch to ground next time around. I love the depth of flavor in this chili and will definitely make it again. I halved the sugar and will probably use even less next time as well. The only big change I made was to use fire roasted tomatoes, which were delicious.
