Chickpea and spinach curry with fermented coconut

Chickpea and spinach curry with a spoonful of cream on top in a bowl

A quick, creamy curry made with store-cupboard ingredients: cooked chickpeas, baby spinach and cumin. The COCO by Angela natural goes in at the end, off the heat, to make the sauce creamy without dairy.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (or tomato purée)
  • 1 tin (400 g) cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 140 g fresh baby spinach
  • 250 ml vegetable stock or water
  • ½ cup (about 120 g) COCO by Angela natural, plus a little more to serve
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh coriander or parsley

Method

  1. Fry. Heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the onion with the cumin for 5 to 6 minutes, until golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 or 2 minutes.
  2. Simmer. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas and the stock. Simmer gently for 10 minutes covered and 5 minutes uncovered, until it thickens.
  3. Add the spinach. Stir until wilted and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Finish. Take off the heat and wait a minute or two. Mix a ladleful of sauce with the ½ cup of COCO by Angela, stir the mixture into the pan and mix. Do not boil again.
  5. Serve. Garnish with the coriander or parsley and add an extra spoonful of COCO by Angela to each serving.
