Broccoli Kale and Chickpea Stir-fry
Health Highlights
A yummy, hearty stir-fry that can be adapted to suit your needs. Feel free to add in leftover roasted root vegetables (use recipes from previous weeks).

Ingredients


1 tbsp Coconut oil
1 clove(s) Garlic
1 tsp Red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 head Broccoli, raw
454 gm Kale (5-6 stalks of "lacinato kale" see notes)
1 can (15oz) Chickpeas, canned, low sodium (rinsed and drained (or 1 1/2 cups cooked))
5 piece Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
1/4 tsp Salt and pepper (1/4-1/2 tsp each, or to taste)
1/4 cup Water
1/2 fruit Lime (juice from half a lime)
1 bunch Parsley, fresh (one handful chopped (OR use cilantro))
1 bunch Cilantro (coriander) (one handful chopped (OR use parsley))
1 cup slices Avocado (optional, to serve)

Instructions


  1. Prepare vegetables: Mince garlic. Remove the tough outer layer from broccoli stalk and chop broccoli head and stalk into bite-size pieces. Strip kale leaves from stem and slice.

  2. Heat coconut oil in a wide, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for a few seconds until sizzling. Add broccoli and kale and toss in the garlic chili oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. In the meantime blot sun-dried tomatoes with a paper towel to remove excess oil and slice.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, and leftover roasted vegetables if using. Add water and cover immediately (before covering, if the pan still looks dry after adding water, add another splash). Steam for 5 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp-tender and kale is wilted to your liking.

  4. Stir in lime juice, parsley, and taste for seasoning. Serve topped with avocado and extra lime. For a bigger appetite serve over rice or quinoa or stir in cooked lentils at the end.

Notes:

Substitutions: Curly kale can be used in place of lacinato kale, but since it is tougher you may have to cook it a few minutes longer at the end or chop it into smaller pieces. If kale is not in season, simply leave it out or use Swiss chard or stir in spinach at the end just to wilt. 

Get ahead! Chop broccoli and kale ahead of time and store in the fridge until ready to use.
