For this recipe, treat yourself to the regular coconut milk rather than the reduced-fat version—it’s luscious and flavorful.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 6 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbs. good-quality curry powder
  • 4 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups chopped (2-inch pieces) green cabbage
  • 2 Tbs. vegetable broth or water
  • 4 cups cooked chickpeas, or rinsed and drained canned chickpeas
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 4 1/2 cups stemmed, coarsely chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

In wok, bring 21/2 quarts lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add cauliflower and cook 2 minutes. Drain well.

In wok, heat 1 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion and 1 tsp. salt and stir-fry 1 minute. Add curry powder and stir-fry 1 minute. Add remaining 1/2 Tbs. oil, carrots, cabbage and remaining 1 tsp. salt and stir-fry 2 minutes.

Gradually drizzle broth around outer perimeter of vegetables (not in center). Cover and cook 2 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and coconut milk, and cook, uncovered, 21/2 minutes.

Add spinach, reserved cauliflower and cilantro and cook, stirring, just until spinach begins to wilt, about 1 minute, and serve hot.
