Golden Chickpea, Squash + Coconut Curry

Naturally plant-based, deeply comforting + OH SO COMFORTING thanks to plump, tender, nutty chickpeas being the hero of the dish. It's ideal for batch cooking, and just the sort of dish that goes down well on a Friday night. Roasting the squash in spices gives it that extra depth of flavour + caramelisation.

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan.

2

Tip the squash into a large roasting tray and toss with the neutral oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, curry powder, cinnamon and chilli powder. Roast for 30–35 minutes, until soft and lightly caramelised.

3

Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and black mustard seeds and cook for 30 seconds, until they begin to pop. Add the onion, garlic and green chilli and cook for 8 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and fragrant.

4

Stir in the turmeric and curry powder and cook for 30–60 seconds, letting the spices bloom.

5

Pour in the coconut milk, chickpeas with their bean stock, and the honey or maple syrup. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes, until thickened and creamy. Squeeze in the lime juice for the final couple of minutes. Season to taste.

6

Tip in the roasted squash and spinach, stir to combine and cook until wilted - about 3 minutes.

7

Divide between serving bowls and serve with rice, naan, or both!
