Quick Curried Chick Peas
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing diced yellow onion and minced garlic in olive oil until softened to build a fragrant base. Drained canned chickpeas are added, followed by tomato sauce, water, and curry powder. The ingredients are stirred and brought to a simmer so that the flavors meld and the sauce reduces and thickens.
Towards the end of cooking, fresh cilantro leaves are roughly chopped and stirred in, adding a bright, herbaceous contrast to the rich curry sauce. The chickpeas absorb the spices and tomato sauce, yielding a warm, mildly spiced dish with a pleasing thick consistency.
Quick Curried Chick Peas can be served over rice, with bread, or as part of a vegetarian meal. It offers a straightforward preparation with pantry staples and fresh herbs, making it convenient for quick dinners or lunches.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.22
- 1 yellow onion $0.37
- 2 cloves garlic $0.14
- 2 oz. can chickpeas $1.32, drained
- 1 oz. can tomato sauce $0.52
- 1 cup water $0.00
- 1 Tbsp curry powder $0.15
- 1/2 bunch cilantro $0.44, fresh
Instructions
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Cook the onion and garlic in a large pot with olive oil over medium heat until softened (3-5 minutes).
- Drain the canned chick peas and add to the pot. Also add the tomato sauce, water and curry powder. Stir the pot until everything is evenly mixed. Bring the mixture up to a simmer over medium heat.
- While the chick peas are simmering, rinse the cilantro and pull the leaves from the stems. Roughly chop the leaves and add them to the pot. Give everything a stir and continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced to a thick consistency (about 20 minutes total). Stir the pot every few minutes to prevent the sauce from burning and sticking to the bottom.
