Chickpea Tomato Spinach Curry
from shortgirltallorder.comNotes
I recommend starting with sauteeing a finely chopped onion with some garlic and ginger for extra flavor. Also, don't be afraid to use unrinsed canned chickpeas, together with the water (it contains a lot of flavor also!)
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 15 oz canned chickpeas (1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas- rinsed and dried)
- 1½ tbsp curry powder*
- 14½ oz canned coconut milk (I use full-fat coconut milk)
- 14½ oz canned chopped tomatoes (I like using fire-roasted tomatoes)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1¾ tbsp lime juice
- Salt to taste (I find curry needs at least 2 tsp of salt, but please season to your preference!)
- 3 cup spinach (loosely packed)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped (more to top))
Instructions
- Begin by adding the oil to a skillet or large pan and turning on the heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the chickpeas and curry powder. Sauté together for 2-3 minutes to lightly toast the spices.
- Next, add in the coconut milk, canned tomatoes, nutritional yeast lime juice, and salt. Stir together to mix and bring to a simmer. Simmer together for about 5-10 minutes, stirring consistently.
- In the last few minutes add in the fresh spinach and stir. Cook everything together about 1-2 minutes and season with additional salt, pepper, and lime juice to your liking.
- Remove from the heat and add in the fresh cilantro. Serve immediately over rice or as is with extra fresh cilantro on top. Enjoy!
