I’ve never been very big on serving up vegetarian dishes in my house. I like vegetables and all (quite a lot, actually), but the idea of serving non-meat kinds of dinners in my house is not met with great enthusiasm by my family. So I save dishes like this One Pot Coconut Chickpea Curry for times when dinner is just for me, and then I can munch on it for a few days and keep it all to myself. The end result is served over some steamed rice (quinoa would be great too). I like to keep things low carb and serve it over cauliflower rice.

The Kitchn Cookbook
This recipe comes from the new book by Sara Kate Gillingham and Faith Durand: The Kitchn Cookbook- Recipes, Kitchens and Tips to Inspire Your Cooking. I have always been a fan of their website: TheKitchn.com– great recipes shared, lots of product recommendations and cooking tips. Their cookbook is much of the same. You can see that I have several recipes tagged to make. I had to hold myself back from tagging more because there were a lot of things that looked great!
This Coconut Chickpea Curry is a one-pot masterpiece. That means you will only have to clean one dish, and that’s a big-fat-bonus, right?? Onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, chickpeas and cauliflower are simmered in a spiced-up (not HOT!) coconut curry sauce. The spinach is swirled in just before serving.
I’m the only one who eats this for dinner in my house when I make it since my husband is a “meat” guy. But I eat it for days, and I really enjoy it a lot. The spicy flavors are enough to keep things interesting, and the chickpeas and cauliflower help to make it a filling and satisfying dish. This one is on my list of vegetarian meals to make again and again!
