Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grape seed
1/2 cup minced onion
1 head cauliflower, about 2 pounds
1 tablespoon cumin seed
2 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste
5 or 6 canned plum tomatoes, with juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless chicken, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Juice of 1 lemon
Minced cilantro or parsley for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a 12-inch skillet, and turn the heat to high; add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown. While it's cooking, trim the cauliflower and cut the florets into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
  • When the onion has browned a little, add the cumin seed and curry powder and cook about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower, and stir, still over high heat, for another minute. Cut up the tomatoes, and add them to the pan along with their juice, 1/4 cup water and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cover, and turn the heat to medium-low.

Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Dump Dinner image

Skip cooking a big pot of rice and throw the ingredients into a casserole dish instead for an easy dump-dinner meal. The basmati rice and chickpeas absorb all the delicious flavors of ginger, garlic, curry powder and coconut milk. Finish with a quick drizzle of yogurt along with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges for a simple and complete meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 1- to 2-inch piece)
1 serrano chile pepper, stemmed and finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
Kosher salt
Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 3 heaping cups)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Cilantro leaves, plain whole-milk yogurt and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
  • Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.

This will serve 4 people, but can easily be doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, also adjust the amount of curry powder to suit taste.
