In attempts to eat sans meat for weeknight dinners, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve really come to appreciate non-American cuisines.  Almost any other country\/region\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cuisine can easily be made deliciously vegetarian.  This meal was one we made on a non-vegetarian night, but the leftovers from the veggie curry made a vegetarian-friendly dinner a couple nights later.   <\/p>\n

Vegetable Chickpea Curry<\/strong><\/font> <\/p>\n

This recipe comes mostly courtesy of Cooking Light<\/a> (I halved the recipe to fit in our smaller crock pot and mistakenly forgot to halve the liquid portion\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6solved this with some creative straining and re-seasoning).<\/p>\n

  • 1\/2  tablespoon  olive oil <\/li>\n
  • Small chopped onion <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup chopped carrot <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2  tablespoon  curry powder <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2  teaspoon  brown sugar <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2  teaspoon  grated peeled fresh ginger <\/li>\n
  • 1  minced garlic clove <\/li>\n
  • 1  serrano chile, seeded and minced <\/li>\n
  • 1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed <\/li>\n
  • 1 potato, peeled and chopped  <\/li>\n
  • Small green bell pepper, diced <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2  cup  (1-inch) cut green beans <\/li>\n
  • 1\/4  teaspoon  salt <\/li>\n
  • 1\/8  teaspoon  black pepper <\/li>\n
  • 1\/8  teaspoon  ground red pepper (or more for spice) <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 can diced tomatoes, undrained <\/li>\n
  • 7oz. vegetable broth <\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2  cups  fresh baby spinach <\/li>\n
  • 1\/2  cup  light coconut milk\n
      \n
    1. Saut\u00c3\u00a9 onion and carrot in olive oil for a few minutes until tender. Add seasonings (curry powder through serrano) and cook for another minute. <\/li>\n
    2. Toss all of this into the crock pot, add everything else, through the broth. <\/li>\n
    3. Cook on low for 10-11 hours (Cooking Light says High for 6 hours, but I had more time to work with). <\/li>\n
    4. Add spinach and coconut milk and heat until spinach wilts.  This can sit and stew on Warm for a while until you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re ready to eat. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We used some chicken breast and a jar of Tikka Masala sauce from Whole Foods to go with this.  Plus some basmati rice and whole wheat naan.  <\/p>\n

      This was really satisfying as a whole meal, and the curry was much more enjoyable as leftovers.  The flavors build up and the vegetables really absorb the curry to make a delicious dinner all on its own. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
