Our youngest daughter is Pescatarian. For a while both of our daughters were. But the oldest succumbed while in a BBQ joint in St. Louis and has never looked back. To continue supporting our youngest we have learned to make a number of typical dishes and just substitute the meat protein for a plant protein. Or a seafood protein.
Seitan Stroganoff, Veggie Paella, and Garbanzo Curry are just a few examples. Here is our recipe for the curry.
You can soak a pound of dried garbanzos overnight if you want. While you do that I'm going to drain two cans of them and bust out this dish in 30 minutes. But you do you. Remember. Quick. Simple. Delicious.
Ingredients
2 Cans Garbanzo Beans, Drained Well
2 - 12oz Jars Coconut Curry Sauce
2-3 T Olive Oil
1 Red Bell Pepper, Diced Medium
1 Green Bell Pepper, Diced Medium
1/2 Large Onion, Diced Medium
1/2 Bag Baby Spinach
2-3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Directions
Open cans of Garbanzos and drain well.
Add Olive Oul to cast iron skillet and heat on medium.
Seed, core and dice both peppers
Dice onion
Add peppers and onions to pan and cook until onions are translucent
Season peppers and onions
Add Garbanzos to pan with peppers and onions.
Adjust seasonings if necessary
Peel and mince garlic cloves and add to pan
Sauté for 1/2 minutes
Add sauce to pan. (Scrape jars with spatula. Don't waste sauce.)
Stir in Spinach
Bring to boil then reduce heat to simmer for 5-10 minutes
Serve over Jasmine Rice or whatever rice you have on hand.
Enjoy!
** Try to dice veggies to a size similar to the size of the Garbanzo's. This makes a nice, uniform dish.
** You can always add other veggies if you like. Experiment. Have fun. Use things you need to use up.
