Remember that childhood game of Broken Telephone that ended in hilarious messages so distorted and removed from the original? Well, this dish turns Broken Telephone to a much lovelier (not to mention more delicious) game.I saw this mouth-watering Curried Chickpea Salad on Kalyn's Kitchen. She got it from her brother who saw it in the LA Times from some restaurant in LA that sounds like a great place to visit. Naturally Kalyn had to put her spin on the recipe ... and naturally, not able to leave well enough alone, I decided to do my own little twist, using Aleppo 7 Spice Blend from Epices de Cru, adding garlic, using avocado oil... you know how it goes once you start adding things to a recipe, it becomes something quite different from the original.
This one doesn't stray too far afield from the original, but it did get me thinking.... what are your favorite ways to make a dish your own?

I've never heard of avacado oil, but I'll certainly be looking for it.
I'm notorious for personalising my cooking with the use of dried fruit as a savoury. Some people (the fellow I married, for example) think that's really weird. Needless to say, he isn't sympathetic when I find myself in a panic as my apricot and prune supply dwindles. I wouldn't rush to a store ahead of a storm for milk or bread-but I might for raisins.
I know exactly what you mean. My husband can't figure out why I need two bags of dried cherries & blueberries in the pantry. I don't want to have to run out especially in the crummy weather we're having right now. Thanks for the comments.
usually I add my own twist to a dish because I don't have all the ingredients and I don't check the recipe before I start cooking :)
