Sweet Potato Curry

If you find a mirepoix mix at the store (diced celery, onion, carrot mix), feel free to use a big cup of that instead of chopping the onion, celery, and carrots in this recipe. You can also find minced ginger and minced garlic in jars so feel free to use those if short on time. This recipe makes a lot but it's a very easy dish to reheat and enjoy again! It gets better the 2nd night!
- 1 T coconut oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 3 celery sticks, diced
- 2 bell peppers, chopped (red, orange, or yellow)
- 1 T minced garlic
- 1 T minced ginger
- Big handful baby kale (can find in packages)
- 2 T curry powder
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2" cubes
- 2 15oz can of chickpeas (rinse them first)
- 1 15oz can of fire roasted crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 T sea salt
- 1 ripe avocado, cut into cubes
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the coconut oil, onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers and saute till onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
Now stir in the garlic, ginger, baby kale, curry powder and cook for about 2 minutes.
Add in the sweet potatoes, rinsed chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, salt and mix all together.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 25-30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Enjoy!
