Vegan Chickpea & Broccoli Coconut Curry

October 15, 2018
After cooking a few cups of garbanzo beans last week, my mind what stumped on what to do with them. Should I freeze them?...mash them?...store them? I couldn’t decide. I knew I wanted them for dinner that night but since chickpeas taste good with just about anything and in every way possible, I felt overwhelmed with ideas. When I began scrounging through the kitchen cabinets and fridge, I put the broccoli, coconut milk and cooked rice on the counter and immediately thought, “Of course! Coconut curry!” In less than 30 minutes I had the perfect curry dish served over a warm bed of steamed rice.
