Curried Chick Peas and Cauliflower

Curried Chick Peas and Cauliflower

I’m on my own this week and working on the new cookbook so got creative in the kitchen. This was the delicious result.

1/2 tbsp coconut oil

1/4 onion, diced

1 large mushroom, chopped

1/4 sweet pepper, diced

2 tsp curry powder

4 canned plum tomatoes, diced with juice

1/4 cauliflower, broken into small pieces

1/2 can chick peas, drained and rinsed

1/4 can coconut milk

handful of baby greens (kale, chard, etc)

salt and pepper to taste

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat and saute onions. After a few minutes, add mushrooms and peppers stirring until lightly cooked. Stir in curry powder. Then add tomatoes, cauliflower, chick peas and coconut milk. You might also need to add a bit more water. Cover and cook until cauliflower is tender but still slightly crunchy, about 10 minutes. Season and toss in greens cooking till slightly wilted. Yum!

Serves 2 or 1 for 2 meals 🙂
