Chickpea Curry
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1 onion, diced
6-8 cups chopped kale, stems removed (this is roughly one bunch of grocery store kale)
2 cups of veggie broth
1 cup pureed raw tomato or pure tomato juice
3 cups chickpeas, rinsed well if from a can
1 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons curry powder
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
Sautee onions in olive oil over medium heat until tender. Add kale and continue cooking, mixing kale and onion together. Kale will reduce as it cooks. Keep cooking over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Add veggie broth, chickpeas, tomato puree, coconut milk and curry powder. Stir well to combine and simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally as the curry thickens to prevent sticking to pan. Add sea salt to taste if needed. Serve over Cauliflower Rice.
*Spice Note: This is a 0/5 on the spice scale. To kick this recipe up a notch, add black pepper or cayenne pepper to taste, or stir in Franks Hot Sauce.
Cauliflower Rice
1 head of cauliflower, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, cut into quarters
1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
In food processor, dice onion. Then add cauliflower a few pieces at a time and process until grainy. Scoop out grainy cauliflower. In a hot pan, throw the grainy mixture in and quickly stir fry for a few minutes until warmed through.
