Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium onion, diced small
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced small
  • 1/2 – 1 tbsp curry powder (to taste)
  • 1 apple, cored and diced
  • 1 can (398 ml) chickpeas, with juice
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 can (398 ml) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • salt (to taste)
  • fresh cilantro to garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Warm a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot add a splash of olive oil or water and place diced onions in the pan. Sauté until translucent.
  • Add garlic, potatoes, curry powder and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together and cook for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes begin to soften, stirring occasionally. If needed turn the heat down and/or add a splash of water to make sure the potatoes do not stick and the garlic doesn’t burn.
  • Once the potatoes have softened add the apple, chickpeas (with juice), peanut butter, tomato sauce and water. Mix everything together well and bring to a simmer.
  • Once the sauce is simmering turn the heat to medium-low and cook until sauce has thickened and the potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally (this should take another 10 minutes or so).
  • Taste and season with additional curry powder or salt if desired.
  • Serve over rice or another grain, and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
