Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 3-4 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 small head)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 can (15 ounces) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant (about 3 minutes). Add the ginger, bay leaf, curry powder and cayenne. Continue cooking while stirring for about 1 more minute.
  2. Add the carrot, squash and cauliflower. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften and brown.
  3. While the vegetables cook, combine the broth and peanut butter in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Pour the broth mixture over the vegetables. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce or tamari, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and allow curry to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the bell pepper and chickpeas and allow to cook for about 5 more minutes.
  5. Remove curry from heat and take out the bay leaf. Divide rice or quinoa between 4 serving bowls and top with curry. Serve warm.
