Curry with chickpeas & quorn

Ingredients:

  • 100 gr dried chickpeas, soaked overnight in cold water
  • salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 big garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled, sliced in rounds
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 courgette, cut in 1,5 cm cubes
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 500 gr tin / tetrapack tomato pieces
  • 300 gr quorn “chicken style” pieces
  • 1 tin (160 gr) coconut milk

Instructions:

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bay leaf and chickpeas, bring to a simmer and cook for 1,5h, or until chickpeas are tender. Drain and keep chickpeas aside.
  2. Heat oil in a big pot. Cook onion & garlic until golden, then add carrot and cook until they start to turn a lighter shade. Add the bell pepper & courgette and cook for a few minutes, letting them turn slightly golden.
  3. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, for a minute. Add the chickpeas, quorn, and tomato pieces. Add 1 dl water (approx, just enough to get the liquid to barely cover everything). Bring to a summer and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Add the coconut milk and stir through. Cook for a minute or so.
  5. Serve with potatoes (as on the picture) or rice.
