Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until it softens.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  • Add the cauliflower florets, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
  • Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Simmer the stew a few extra minutes uncovered if you want a thicker broth. Frozen peas added at the end keep their bright color and slight pop. Leftovers reheat well the next day, though the cauliflower softens more.
