Ingredients

  • 2 small heads broccoli (and/or other veggies of choice)
  • minced garlic or onion (optional)
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • ½ Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  • Saute broccoli (and onion/garlic if you’re using it) in a tablespoon of oil. After a few minutes, add the coconut milk and let simmer for 5-8 minutes. The broccoli should soften but still be tender-crisp.
  • Add the curry paste to the pan and whisk it until it combines with the coconut milk. Add the chickpeas.
  • Bring to a slight boil and add the cornstarch. Boil for about a minute, then reduce heat and let cool slightly. Sauce will thicken as the mixture cools.

Bryan's Notes
I made this a few days ago, for our evening meal. It was very easy, and delicious. I used a mixture of broccoli florets and cauliflower florets, plus a red bell pepper cut into medium pieces. We enjoyed the crispness of the vegetables.
