Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans drained + rinsed
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp ginger ground
  • 2 tbsp green curry paste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can coconut milk full fat (if possible)

Instructions

  • In a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, combine: olive oil, garlic, onion, ginger, red pepper flakes and ginger. Saute for 10 minutes crushing a few of the chickpeas with the back of a wooden spoon (to help thicken the curry).
  • Add the curry paste and give it a quick stir. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk (it's going to be very thin). Allow the curry to simmer for about 40-50 minutes or until it's a thick stew-like consistency.
  • Serve immediately with naan or rice, a dollop of yogurt, chopped cilantro, and lime if you have it!

Notes

A note on the cooking time:  Please don't skip the long simmer.  It will help the curry develop into a thick, creamy, stew.  It's delicious.  But, it does take time, I'm afraid. 
Storing: Before storing in the fridge, allow the stew to cool to room temperature, and place in an airtight container. It'll keep for about a week.
