PREP TIME:  10 MIN
COOK TIME: 10 MIN
TOTAL TIME:  30 MIN
4 SERVINGS

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • One 14-ounce can coconut milk
  • 1 lime, halved
  • One 28-ounce can chickpeas
  • 1½ cups frozen peas
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Steamed rice, for serving (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté until nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the cauliflower and toss well to combine. Stir in the chili powder, coriander and red curry paste, and cook until the mixture begins to caramelize–about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover the saucepan and continue to simmer until the cauliflower is tender–8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and squeeze lime juice into the curry, stirring well to combine. Add the chickpeas and peas, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture back to a simmer.
  • Serve with rice, if desired. Garnish each portion with 1 tablespoon cilantro and 1 tablespoon scallions.
