Curried Chickpea And Summer Vegetable Stew Recipes

CURRIED CHICKPEA AND SUMMER VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
• Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently until soft and golden, about 15 minutes (reduce the heat to medium low, if necessary, to prevent the onion from burning).
• Stir in the ginger and garlic; cook for 2 minutes.
• Add eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini, and 1/2 tsp salt; stir to coat thoroughly.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are barely tender, 7 - 10 minutes.
• Stir in garam masala, coriander, cumin, turmeric, chile, tsp salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
• Cook until the spices are fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Pour in the chickpeas and their liquid, the tomato sauce, coconut milk and 2 tbsp of the cilantro.
• Raise the heat to medium high and bring the stew to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, until the eggplant and zucchini are completely tender but still hold their shape and the sauce has thickened, 15 - 20 minutes.
• To serve - ladle the stew into shallow rimmed bowls and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and the toasted coconut (if using).

CURRIED VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat a large braising pot over high heat. Add the oil and the onions, and saute for 2 minutes. Then, add the red peppers and saute 2 minutes more.
• Then, add curry powder, and saute until fragrant. Add the garlic, ginger, a little salt and pepper to the saute.
• Add the pumpkins, chickpeas, chayote, potatoes, carrots, thyme, and scallions, and stir the saute for about 6 minutes. Add enough vegetable stock to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, and then add the cauliflower and cover the pot.
• Simmer for about 35 minutes. Then add Cheryl's Hot Sauce, salt, and pepper, to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes more.
• To a blender, add peppers and 1 cup of vinegar and puree. Add remaining vinegar, if needed. Stir in pimento seeds. Store in a bottle or jar in refrigerator.
• Yield: 2 cups

ROAST SUMMER VEGETABLES & CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip all the vegetables into a large roasting tin and toss with the coriander seeds, most of the olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread everything out to a single layer, then roast for 45 mins, tossing once or twice until the vegetables are roasted and brown round the edges.
• Place the tin on a low heat, then add the tomatoes and chickpeas. Bring to a simmer and gently stir. Season to taste, drizzle with olive oil, then scatter over the coriander. Serve from the tin or pile into a serving dish. Eat with hunks of bread.
