This spicy and flavourful green curry chickpea stir-fry is a great recipe to quickly pull together on a weeknight, or as meal prep for lunches for the week!
The base of this stir-fry is brown rice and veggies. I used cauliflower and carrots, but feel free to use whatever veggies have on hand!
The stirfry is then topped with spicy green curry chickpeas that seriously up the flavour of the dish. Laslty, the whole stir-fry is drizzled with a creamy peanut sauce that cuts the heat of the chickpeas.
I hope you love this green curry chickpea stir-fry! It’s:
