Rice Ingredients

Method

Curry Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Spices and Chickpeas

    Stir in the curry powder and cumin, cooking for about 30 seconds to toast the spices. Add the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and stir to mix everything together. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach and Season

    Add the spinach to the curry, stirring until wilted (if using fresh) or heated through (if using frozen). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Rice Directions

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of long-grain rice, 2 cups of water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
