Quickpea Curry
Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas or garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups cubed peeled sweet potato (about 1 medium)
1 cup light coconut milk
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup uncooked whole wheat pearl (Israeli) couscous
1-1/2 cups frozen peas (about 6 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Chopped fresh parsley
Plain yogurt, optional
Directions
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; saute onion and garlic with curry powder until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, chickpeas, sweet potato, coconut milk, sugar and pepper flakes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until mixture is thickened and potatoes are tender, 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, prepare couscous and peas separately according to package directions. Stir salt into peas.
To serve, divide couscous among 6 bowls. Top with chickpea mixture, peas, parsley and, if desired, yogurt.
**Test Kitchen tips
Leftover coconut milk can be frozen or stirred into oatmeal or herbal tea, or even added to whisked eggs before scrambling them for a soft, fluffy version.
If you don’t have pearl couscous on hand, regular couscous can be substituted.
