Even serious carnivores will find this hearty vegan curry delicious, especially when it is spooned over steamed rice and served with a dollop of tamarind chutney.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cans (15 oz./470 g each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 butternut squash, 3 to 3 1⁄2 lb. (1.5 to 1.75 g), peeled, seeded and cut into 1⁄2-inch (12-mm) cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbs. peeled and grated fresh ginger
  • 4 tsp. ground coriander
  • 2 1⁄2 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1⁄2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3 cups (24 fl. oz./750 ml) coconut milk
  • 1 cup (8 fl. oz./250 ml) water
  • 1⁄4 cup (1⁄3 oz./10 g) chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish (optional)
  • Kosher salt
  • Juice of 1 large lemon
  • Chopped green onion for garnish

Directions:

In a slow cooker, combine the chickpeas, squash, onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, turmeric, pepper flakes, coconut milk, water, cilantro and 1 tsp. salt. Stir to mix well. Cover and cook on low according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the squash is very tender, about 4 hours.

Stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Ladle into shallow bowls, garnish with cilantro and green onion, and serve immediately. Serves 8.
