Chickpeas simmered in a creamy coconut curry sauce with garlic and ginger, served over rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • ⅛ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ tbsp honey
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas rinsed and drained

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion for 1 to 2 minutes, until soft.
  • Stir in the garlic, curry powder, ginger, and salt and cook for 1 minute, stirring so the spices don't burn.
  • Add the broth, coconut milk, and honey and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Stir in the chickpeas, turn the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until thickened.
  • Spoon it over the rice.
