INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Tbsp neutral oil (I recommend avocado oil)
  • 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt

  • 2, 13.5oz cans coconut milk (I recommend 365 Whole Foods Organic; I used one light and one full fat)
  • 1 full jar Green Curry Paste (I recommend Thai Kitchen)
  • 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups (1, 15oz can) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Lime, juiced
  • 2 cups Brown Jasmine Rice (I recommend Lundberg) 

METHOD

  • Roast Potatoes:
    • Preheat oven to 450 °F.
    • Line a baking sheet with silicon mat or parchment paper.
    • Scrub, rinse, and shake dry sweet potatoes/yams. Place onto lined baking sheet and roast for about 50 minutes, turning halfway through. Roast plain – no oil needed. 
    • Pierce center with knife or fork to test doneness.
  • Roast Brussels Sprouts:
    • Once potatoes are baked, change oven heat to 425 °F.
    • Trim Brussels sprouts (remove stems) and cut each one, lengthwise, into quarters.
    • In a mixing bowl, toss Brussels with oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Transfer to a lined baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until Brussels are crispy on the edges.
    • Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, make curry and cook rice:
    • For Curry:
      • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté diced onion in coconut oil for about 5 minutes.
      • Add ginger and garlic, and sauté for another minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
      • Pour in coconut milk, along with green curry paste, and stir until well-combined.
      • Add chickpeas, and maple syrup.
      • Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
      • After 15 minutes, stir in lime juice and let simmer for another minute or so.
    • For Rice:
      • Cook 2 cups dry rice according to directions.
  • Once potatoes and Brussels are roasted, the curry has simmered until it’s thick and creamy, and the rice is cooked, it’s time to serve.
  • Cut roasted potatoes in half, transfer to a serving bowl along with rice, and top with curry and roasted Brussels sprouts.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and few cashews, and enjoy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
