  • ½ medium Yellow onion Chopped; or 1 shallot.
  • 5 tablespoons Green curry paste Use Thai Kitchen brand for best flavor.
  • 2 cans Light coconut milk 14-ounce cans.
  • 1 large Sweet potato Peeled and diced.
  • 1 bunch Kale Stems removed and chopped.
  • 1 can Reduced-sodium chickpeas 15 ounces, rinsed and drained.
  • 1 small Broccoli Cut into florets; about 3 cups.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice From about 1 lime.

Equipment

  • Saucepan

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Peeler
  • Cutting Board
  • Skillet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Heat a Dutch oven, large saucepan, or deep skillet over medium. Once hot, add the olive oil, garlic, ginger, and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the curry paste and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the coconut milk. Stir until the sauce is smoothly incorporated.
  4. Add the sweet potato, kale, and chickpeas. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer.
  5. Let simmer for 5 minutes, until the sweet potato is somewhat tender but still has a bit of chew, then add the broccoli. Simmer 3 to 5 additional minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender.
  6. Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, and coconut sugar.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes (this will ensure the yogurt does not curdle and gives the flavors a little extra time to marry). Stir in the Greek yogurt. Serve warm with rice and a sprinkle of fresh basil.
