Ingredients
Beans & Veggies
- 1 can Chickpeas, about 15oz
- 1 Red Pepper, Medium
- 1 Zucchini, Small
- 3 Scallions (Green Onions)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tbls Coconut oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 tbls for veggies, 1 tbls for sauce
- 1 tbls All Purpose White Flour
- ½ cup Vegetable Broth or stock
- ½ cup Milk, 1% I use 1%, but any fat content will do
- 2 teaspoon Curry Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (or to taste)
- Salt & Ground Pepper to taste
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup Long grain White Rice, uncooked
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
- Make the rice according to package instructions.
- Drain Chickpeas, rinse, then pat dry. Place on sheet pan.
- Prepare Veggies: Chop red pepper into bite-size pieces. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and then each half again in half lengthwise. Then chop into ½ inch slices. Dice Scallions, separating the greens from the whites.
- Place chickpeas, red pepper, zucchini, and only ½ of the GREEN part of the scallions that you separated out on the sheet pan. Drizzle with Coconut or olive oil (about 1 Tbls). Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder and then season with Salt & Pepper to taste.
- Put sheet pan in oven and roast beans and veggies for 15 minutes.
- While beans and veggies are roasting, add a drizzle of oil to a preheated Saute pan and add all of the whites of the scallions. Stir to soften for about 2 minutes. Add 1 Tbls flour and 1 Tbls oil and whisk to create a roux (thickener for the sauce). Add a very little bit of the broth at a time while whisking quickly to combine. Once the broth is completely combined and you have a thick sauce, whisk in the milk.
- Whisk in the yogurt.
- Add the curry powder, cayenne powder, and salt & ground pepper to taste.
- When the beans and veggies are done, add them to the sauce.
- Put the rice in a bowl and top with the Curry Veggies. Garnish with the remaining scallion and enjoy!
