Ingredients

Servings: 6
Yield:
  • 1 x 15 oz. can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon peanut oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2-3″ knob of ginger root, peeled and minced fine
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder (or to taste)

Directions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, 1/2 cup of the broth, and the peanut butter. Blend until it's the consistency of a thick paste.
  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Sauté the onions and ginger root until the onions are soft, about 7-8 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and the cumin and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add the remaining broth, the tomatoes, and the blended chickpea mixture. Stir well to combine. Simmer on a medium-low heat for about 10 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with cayenne and serve sprinkled with the cilantro.
