The stringy texture and mild flavor of canned jackfruit mimics chicken in this vegan curry recipe. Chickpeas add delicious crunch and protein for a satisfying meal. Serve over brown rice for an easy, healthy dinner.

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic
1 medium serrano pepper, cut into thirds
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons ghee
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 (14 ounce) can young jackfruit, drained and patted dry
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Pulse garlic, serrano and ginger in a mini food processor until minced. Scrape down the sides and add onion. Pulse until finely chopped but not watery.
Heat oil and ghee in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add coriander, cumin and turmeric and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and salt. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes. Stir in chickpeas, peas, jackfruit and garam masala. Bring to a simmer; cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
