1 tbsp oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp minced ginger
1-2 green chiles (e.g. serrano or jalapeño), diced, remove seeds for less heat
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground coriander powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, more to taste
1 tsp salt, or to taste
2 tomatoes, diced
29 oz can chickpeas (3 cups cooked), drained and rinsed
5 oz baby spinach
1 cup Pacific Foods Cashew Unsweetened Original Plant Based Beverage
1 cup Pacific Foods Vegetable Broth
2-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from 1/2-1 lemon), to taste
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, and green chilies and cook in for 1 minute, then addd the curry powder, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Let cook for 30 seconds.
Add the diced tomatoes, chickpeas, cashew beverage, and vegetable broth and bring to a low boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and breaking down.
Add the spinach in batches, letting it wilt to fit before adding more. Once all spinach is added let simmer for 5-10 minutes or until spinach is very tender and flavors have melded.
Turn off heat and add in lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as desired. Serve garnished with minced chili peppers, cilantro, lemon wedges on the side for extra citrus, and basmati rice.
Substitute regular spinach or frozen chopped spinach for the baby spinach, chop it up and wash thoroughly if using fresh big spinach!
