Green Chickpea Curry with Jalapeño Haloumi
-
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chickpeas stirring occasionally until the chickpeas begin to crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Add the zucchini, shallot, garlic, and ginger and cook for 5-10 minutes or until they just begin to soften.
- Stir in the curry paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. If the sauce thickens too much, add additional water to thin. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest, and coriander.
- Meanwhile pan-fry the halloumi pieces in a non-stick pan and cook for about 3 mins each side until golden.
- Divide the cooked rice among bowls and spoon over the curry. Top with haloumi, thinly sliced cucumbers and shallot garnish.
