Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- ½ Red onion diced
- 2-3 Cloves Garlic minced
- 1-3 tablespoon Thai red curry paste* see note
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 Cube Vegetable bouillon
- ½ teaspoon Rice vinegar
- ½ Cup Canned tomato sauce
- 1 Cup Chopped bell pepper red/yellow/orange
- 1 Can (540 mL) Chickpeas
- 1 Can (398 mL) Coconut milk* see note
- 1 Cup Bok choi Chopped (Optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add in diced onuon and minced garlic, saute until onion and garlic become fragrant.
- Add in your red curry paste to taste and briefly saute for approx 1 minute to release the flavours. Mix in the brown sugar and bouillon cube. Break apart the bouillon cube and mix until all of the ingredients come together to form a really thick paste. Deglaze your pan with the rice vinegar.
- Add in the tomato sauce, bell pepper, chickpeas, and coconut milk. Mix to combine. Keep skillet at medium heat and allow to come to a boil. Once the curry has come to a boil reduce heat to a simmer and allow to simmer until the curry has thickened.
- Mix in the chopped bok choi if you would like, cook for 2-3 minutes.
Notes
- To control the spice level in your curry follow these guidelines. 1 tablespoon curry paste = Mild, 2 tablespoon curry paste = Medium, 3+ tablespoon curry paste = Hot.
- I prefer using full fat coconut milk, however you are free to use the lower fat version if you want to yield a lower fat dish.
- The book choi is optional. Make sure you add it in at the very end and only cook for approx 2-3 minutes.
