Although Father and Son are the same in essence and equally God, they function in different roles. By God’s own design, the Son submits to the Father’s headship. The Son’s role is by no means a lesser role; merely a different one. Christ is in no sense inferior to His Father, even though He willingly submits to the Father’s headship. The same is true in marriage. Wives are in no way inferior to husbands, even though God has assigned husbands and wives different roles. The two are one flesh. They are absolutely equal in essence. Although the woman takes the place of submission to the headship of man, God commands the man to recognize the essential equality of his wife and love her as his own body.

INSTRUCTIONS

DOROTHY CROSS TMPJ72B
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bay
leaf; saute for 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes
longer. Add ginger and garlic and cook until the onions are well browned
but not burned, 2 to 3 minutes. (If the mixture becomes too dry, add 1 to 2
tsp. water.) Stir in jalapeno peppers, turmeric, cumin and coriander. Add
tomatoes, salt and 1/2 cup water. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer,
stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and a thick sauce
has formed, about 10 minutes. Add chickpeas, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes to further develop the
flavors. Discard the bay leaf. Taste, and adjust seasonings. Serve over
rice, garnished with onions, tomatoes and cilantro. Serves 2.
The secret to the rich flavor is the slow browning of the onions. Do not
omit the garnishes as they not only make the dish pretty but balance its
texture as well.
