| 2 leaf | Basil, fresh (*optional, for topping) |
| 1/2 cup | Bean sprouts (*optional, for topping) |
| 1/2 cup chopped | Carrots |
| 1 can (15oz) | Chickpeas, canned, drained (rinsed and drained) |
| 2 sprig | Cilantro (coriander) (*optional, for topping) |
| 2 1/2 cup | Almond milk, unsweetened |
| 2 tbsp | Water |
| 4 tbsp | Monk Fruit Extract |
| 3/4 cup | Couscous, dry (whole grain) |
| 4 clove(s) | Garlic (minced) |
| 2 tbsp minced | Ginger root (skin removed) |
| 52 gm | Indian curry paste |
| 2 tsp | Lime juice (fresh) (*optional, for topping) |
| 1 tsp | Lime peel (zest) |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt (to taste) |
| 1/2 cup | Tofu, regular, extra firm (pan fried *optional, for topping) |
| 1 cup | Vegetable stock/broth |
| 1/2 cup | Yellow onion (diced) |
Heat a pot, large saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add water, garlic, ginger, carrot and onion.
Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Add curry paste and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
Add chickpeas and stir to coat once more. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add almond milk, vegetable broth, monk fruit, lime zest (or leaf), and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a heavy simmer over medium-high heat.
Once simmering, add couscous, stir and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding fresh lime juice for tang, monk fruit for added sweetness, and salt for depth of flavor. Add a bit more of each as you really want the flavor to be big, bold and punch through in each bite. Don’t be shy!
Then turn off heat and let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavor to permeate the chickpeas and couscous even more.
Serve with fresh lime juice, fresh herbs, and sriracha You can also serve with pan-seared tofu and/or bean sprouts or shredded brussels sprouts.
