Chickpean and Sweet Potato Curry

Jamie Oliver – https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables/pumpkin-chickpea-coconut-curry/#E1Y7Z1o97yRV8LrF.97

This is a quick version of Jamie Oliver’s recipe. To ramp up the flavor, soak dried chickpeas overnight and simmer them in water until tender; roast the cubed and salted sweet potatoes in olive oil until golden before adding. Pass bowls of toasted chopped walnuts, lime wedges, and scallions at the table.

6 servings


Ingredients

  • 1 13.6-ounce can coconut milk
  • 1 large (1 lb-13 ounce) can chickpeas with liquid
  • 1 10-ounce can chopped or diced tomatoes
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large shallots, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1½ tablespoons minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seed
  • Salt to taste
  • Cooked brown rice

Garnishes

  • Sriracha sauce
  • Toasted chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Lime wedges
  • Chopped scallions

Directions

  1. Place chickpeas with juice, sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and tomatoes in medium stockpot over medium heat, seasoning with salt. When mixture boils, reduce to simmer.
  2. Meanwhile, saute shallots, seasoning with salt, until translucent and slightly golden in spots; add garlic and ginger; stir over heat for about a minute, then add to simmering chickpeas. Salt to taste.
  3. Add olive oil to saute pan and heat to shimmering. Add mustard seed. When they begin to pop, remove from heat and scrape, with oil, into mixture.
  4. Add salt and Sriracha sauce to taste.
  5. Simmer at least until potatoes are tender; more simmering will result in a thicker texture and more concentrated flavor.
