Ingredients:

250 g Chard

2 tbsp Olive oil

1 Onion (chopped )

1 tbsp Ginger (grated )

1 tsp Ground turmeric

1 tsp Ground cumin

½ tsp Ground coriander

½ tsp Smoked paprika

1 Can coconut milk

1 cup frozen peas

1 Lime (juiced )

For serving (optional):

Steamed rice

Cherry tomato

Recipe:

  1. Roughly chop the chard, including the stalks. Place a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion and ginger in the olive oil, until fragrant. Add the spices, give everything a good stir and cook for a minute.
  2. Add the chickpeas, coconut milk and frozen peas. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.  Add the chard and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice - do this off heat to prevent the sauce from splitting.
  4. Serve as you wish or like us with cooked rice and some leftover cherry tomatoes. Enjoy!
