- 2 Γ 400 g tins3 cups chickpeas
- 11 lemon
- small bunchsmall bunch mint
- 250 g1ΒΌ cups basmati rice
- turmeric chickpea stew
- coconut
Method
- Take out two saucepans (including one larger saucepan).
- Add the basmati rice to your smaller saucepan and cover with 2x its volume in water. Place over a medium-high heat, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook until fluffy, around 8 minutes.
- Remove the stems from the cavolo nero and roughly chop the leaves. Drain and rinse the chickpeas . Add them both to your large saucepan along with the healing turmeric broth , 140ml of water and the zest of half of the lemon (double these measurements for a four person portion size). Place over a medium-high heat and once it's bubbling, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until the cavolo nero is tender, around 5 minutes. Add a splash of water as you're cooking if the sauce reduces too much or starts to stick. Season to taste with salt and pepper and then squeeze in the lemon juice - we like adding it all but you could start with half and add more to your taste.
- Meanwhile pick and chop the mint leaves. If the chilli garlic crunch has softened in the fridge, dry fry it (without oil) in a frying pan until toasted and crunchy.
- To serve up, divide the basmati rice between serving bowls and spoon over the turmeric chickpea stew . Finish with a dollop of coconut yoghurt , some fresh mint and a scattering of chilli garlic crunch . Enjoy!
