Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups jasmine rice cooked
- 1 tsp 5 mL yellow curry paste
- 2 green onions whites diced, greens cut into large chunks, separated
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup + 1/4 cup 250 + 60 mL coconut milk
- 1 cup 250 mL pumpkin puree
- 1 cup loosely packed kale torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup loosely packed chopped cabbage
- 1 can chickpeas 540 mL/19 fl oz, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp 15 mL soy sauce (to taste) (use tamari to keep GF)
Instructions
- Cook your rice according to your rice cooker's instructions.
- In a pot over medium heat, cook 1/4 cup (60 mL) of coconut milk to cook out the liquid. You'll be left with the coconut oil and some coconut solids.
- Add the curry paste and mash the paste to loosen into the oil.
- Add whites of the green onion and garlic and stirring frequently to prevent from burning the garlic, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Deglaze the pot with 1 cup of coconut milk, stirring to lift up the caramelization from the bottom of the pot.
- Add pumpkin puree and stir until well incorporated.
- Add your chopped cabbage, kale, and chickpeas and stir to coat in the sauce. Let cook for about 10-15 minutes until the chickpeas have softened and the cabbage is cooked through.
- Add the green onions and soy sauce, stir to incorporate, then turn off the heat.
- Serve with rice and enjoy!
