Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

  • Rinse the rice.

In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, make the curry.

2

Prep the curry ingredients

  • Scrub or peel the sweet potato; cut the potato into ¼-inch pieces. 
  • Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
  • Strip the chard leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves and stems, keeping them separate.
  • Rinse the chickpeas.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside for garnish.
  • If using the jalapeños, remove the stem, ribs, and seeds; thinly slice the jalapeños. Wash your hands after handling.

3

Cook the curry

In a medium [large] sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown and soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the onion and chard stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add the chickpeas, coconut curry base, ½ cup [1 cup] water, and as much jalapeño as you like. Season generously with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the chard leaves, cover, and cook until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the curry. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
