EASY ZUCCHINI CHICKPEA CURRY

ZUCCHINI CURRY RECIPE BY TASTY

• Enjoy!

SMASHED ZUCCHINI WITH CHICKPEAS AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• Trim the zucchini ends and slice lengthwise into quarters. Position cut sides down, then smash with the side of your knife until craggy and split. Rip into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a colander set in the sink, then toss with the sliced jalapeño, lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Let drain while you cook the chickpeas.
• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are lightly browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the lime zest, sumac and a sprinkle of salt. Stir until fragrant, then taste and add more salt as needed.
• Shake the zucchini to get rid of any excess liquid, then transfer to a platter or plates. Drizzle with a little olive oil, then top with the chickpeas. Get a spoonful of everything and taste. Add salt and a squeeze of lime until flavors are bright and zingy. Serve warm or at room temperature (although the chickpeas will become less crispy as they sit with the wet ingredients).

CREAMY COCONUT CHICKPEA CURRY WITH SWEET CORN & ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Start your rice first thing so that it's ready when your curry's ready.
• Set a large saute pan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When warm, add the onion along with a pinch of salt. Cook, continuing over low heat, stirring occasionally, to sweat the onions (make them tender but not browned), about 8 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil along with the garlic, curry powder, and cayenne if using. Stir frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the ginger and zucchini along with another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini begins to get tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chickpeas and corn and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 more minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Add the coconut milk, tahini, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine. The tahini might appear to be clumpy, but it will meld in with the ingredients when warm.
• Bring to BARELY a simmer - do not let boil! If you let the curry boil, the coconut milk gets too hot and the curry will have a grainy appearance. Cook low and slow, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and the zucchini and corn are tender, 6-8 minutes.
• Stir in lemon juice and cilantro. Taste and add more salt if desired (it will probably need another 1/4 teaspoon at least - I intentionally call for a small amount of salt so that you can adjust to your tastes at the end). At this point, you can also stir in more cayenne if you'd like a bit more heat.
• To serve, divide rice between bowls, then spoon curry over the top. Garnish with cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
