Istruzioni

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until soft, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Stir in garlic, red curry paste, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper; cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
Stir in spinach or kale and cook until the greens wilt, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add chickpeas and stir to coat in spices. Add milk, peanut butter, and salt, and bring mixture to a gentle simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until the curry sauce thickens.
Stir in fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (you may want a pinch more salt).
Spoon curry over grain of choice and add desired garnishes.

Note

From Rachel: When I made this, I thought adding the spinach so soon would make it far too wilty. Plus, I was out 😁. So instead we added a can of baby corn (drained and rinsed) which has no flavor like spinach, and a cup of chopped broccoli, which does have flavor hence only 1 cup. We also thought it tasted better with a few tablespoons of brown sugar.

From Joy: soooo tasty! Surprisingly, adding the spinach so early turned out just fine—wilty, but tasty still. My son Luke had a fun idea for his 2nd serving (yes! We liked it!): he took a piece of warm naan bread, spread a little hummus on it, then topped it with rice and curry. See pic (not pretty, but tasty, haha).
