Thai Red Chickpea Curry
by Bold Bean Co
BIG FLAVOUR, VERY LITTLE EFFORT. A few simple, crackin' quality ingredients and you've got yourself a meal that tastes like you've spent hours making it, but really, takes no time at all! Any Thai curry paste will work here - Red, Penang, Green - whatever takes your fancy. It's also entirely plant-based!
Method
Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, before adding in the curry paste. Stir to combine and let is sizzle for 2 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a boil then reduce to a summer.
Step 3
Add the chickpeas with their liquid and the spinach and cook for a couple of minutes until it starts to wilt. Add any extra greens here too. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and is looking creamy. Squeeze in the lime juice to taste, and check for salt - adding a dash more soy sauce if you like it saltier. Remove from the heat and stir through the fresh Thai basil.
Step 4
Spoon the curry into bowls, top with chopped roasted peanuts, fresh coriander and sliced chilli - if you like the heat. Serve with rice for something heartier.
