Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup yellow diced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 14.5 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 13.5 ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 15.5 ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 5 ounces baby spinach roughly chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet or saucepan
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Can opener
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the red curry paste, mixing well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Pour in the fire roasted diced tomatoes along with the full-fat coconut milk. Stir until fully combined, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Once simmering, add the chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Stir to incorporate, allowing the curry to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, giving the flavors time to develop.
  5. Finally, add the roughly chopped baby spinach to the curry. Stir until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • For a nutty flavor, consider adding a splash of almond milk instead of coconut milk.
  • Ensure that the red curry paste used is gluten-free; many brands are naturally gluten-free.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
