Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 oz. each), peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces
3/4 cup vegetable broth
1 1/4 cups full- or reduced-fat coconut milk
1 Tbsp. curry powder
1 bunch curly kale (about 8 oz.), stems removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1 (15.5-oz.) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 cups cooked white or brown rice

Steps:

  • Bring potatoes and broth to a simmer in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cover and cook until potatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk coconut milk and curry powder in a small bowl to combine.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in kale, chickpeas, and coconut milk mixture. Cover and simmer, stirring once halfway through, until potato is fully cooked but still holds its shape and kale is wilted and dark green, about 8 minutes. Stir in lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide rice among bowls. Spoon potato and kale mixture over.
