Cauliflower Chickpea Curry Food

SLOW-COOKER FREEZER-PACK CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEA CURRY

Steps:

• Layer the cauliflower, chickpeas, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, curry powder, honey, ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out the air from the bag and seal. Freeze until ready to use, up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before cooking.
• Pour the contents of the bag into a 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on low until the cauliflower is tender and can easily be pierced with a paring knife, 7 to 9 hours. Pour in the coconut milk and gently stir, being careful to keep the cauliflower quarters intact. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro and cashews for topping.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEA DUMP DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
• Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
• Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.

1-POT YELLOW CHICKPEA CAULIFLOWER CURRY

Steps:

• Heat a large pot, rimmed cast-iron, or metal skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add water or coconut oil, shallot, garlic, ginger, and serrano pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add curry paste (starting with the smallest suggested amount and adding more later if needed) and stir. Cook for 2 minutes more. Add coconut milk (see photo), turmeric, maple syrup or coconut sugar (optional), coconut aminos (or tamari), and stir. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Once simmering, add cauliflower and chickpeas and slightly reduce heat. You want a simmer, not a boil, which should be around low to medium-low heat.
• Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften the cauliflower and chickpeas and infuse them with curry flavor. Keep at a simmer - lower heat if boiling.
• At this time, taste and adjust the flavor of the broth as needed. We added more coconut sugar for sweetness, coconut aminos for saltiness, and turmeric for earthiness. You can also add more curry paste for more spice and intense curry flavor. Don't be shy with seasonings - this curry should be very flavorful.
• Serve as is, or over rice, quinoa, or greens (optional). Garnish with desired toppings such as sesame seeds, cilantro, lime, or diced red onion (optional).
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat on a stovetop. Add additional coconut milk if it needs more moisture.

Season well, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins until the cauliflower has thawed, then uncover and cook for 5 mins more until the sauce is thick.
• Meanwhile, make the flatbreads. Heat a large griddle pan. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Add the coconut milk and mix to form a dough. Break off golf-ball-sized pieces of dough and roll out as thinly as you can on a lightly floured surface. Place in the pan and cook for 1-2 mins each side until charred dark brown and puffed up. Serve the curry with the flatbreads, scattered with coriander, if you like.

Pour in enough cold water to almost but not quite cover everything (1/3 to 3/4 cup/100 to 200ml) and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cauliflower is tender.
