Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder

  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add chopped cauliflower and chickpeas to the pot. Stir to combine with aromatics.
  3. Incorporate curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toast spices for about 2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, covering cauliflower and chickpeas.

Notes

  • Add Greens: Mix in spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for added nutrients.
  • Coconut Milk: Substitute half of the vegetable broth with coconut milk for a creamier dish.
  • Sweet Potato: Add chopped sweet potato for a sweet flavor and extra fiber.
  • Lemon Juice: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the bowl before serving to enhance flavors.
  • Make it a Salad: Allow to cool and serve as a cauliflower chickpea salad on a bed of lettuce.
