Chickpea Capsicum And Tomato Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and add 2 finely sliced onions. Cook until softened, about 10 mins.
• Add 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp turmeric and 1 tsp ground coriander, then stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 mins, then pour in a 400g can of plum tomatoes, break up with a wooden spoon and simmer for 10 mins.
• Pour in a 400ml can of coconut milk and season. Bring to the boil and simmer for a further 10-15 mins until the sauce has thickened.
• Tip in a drained and rinsed 400g can of chickpeas and 2 quartered large tomatoes, and warm through. Scatter over roughly chopped coriander from ½ small pack and serve with fluffy rice.

Steps:

• Toast the desiccated coconut, coriander seeds, 10 of the curry leaves, garlic and 3 of the dried chilies in a dry fry pan for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• When the coconut begins to colour, remove from the heat and cool (best to tip it onto a cool plate at once).
• Place the mixture in a food processor, add the water and pulse to for a thin paste. Set aside.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy pan and add the onions; cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the cinnamon, turmeric, chilli powder, chickpeas, capsicum and tomatoes.
• Mix well add the coconut paste from the food processor and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk.
• Put the remaining oil in a small pan and heat for 1 minute. Add the remaining curry leaves, dried red chillies and the mustard seeds; remove from the heat when the mustard seeds begin to pop.
• Pour the flavoured oil over the curry stir and serve.

Steps:

• Put the onion, garlic, ginger and tomatoes in a food processor or blender and whizz to a purée.
• Heat oil in a large pan. Add the spices, fry for a few secs and add purée and yeast extract. Bubble together for 2 mins, then add lentils and coconut cream. Cook until lentils are tender, then add the broccoli and cook for 4 mins. Stir in chickpeas and spinach, squeeze over lemon and swirl through sesame and cashew mixture. Serve with brown rice, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and arrange racks on the top and bottom thirds of the oven.
• In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated. Spread onto a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer and top with 3 thyme sprigs.
• On a second sheet pan, combine bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños and remaining thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread vegetables into one layer.
• Place chickpea pan on the bottom rack and vegetables on the top rack and roast for 10 minutes. Switch pan positions. Roast chickpeas until crisped but still tender, about 5 minutes, and roast vegetables until golden brown, about 10 minutes. If the vegetables are tender but not browned, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize. Discard thyme sprigs.
• While the chickpeas and vegetables roast, whisk lemon juice, garlic and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
• Arrange vegetables on a large platter and drizzle with half the dressing, then top with crispy chickpeas, fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything. Serve with couscous or rice, if you like.
