Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Legumes

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 1 large broccoli crown, cut into florets (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 white onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 (15 oz) can organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Liquids

  • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans coconut milk (full fat or lite)

Grains and Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup quinoa
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated turmeric (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
  • 2 teaspoons wheat-free tamari sauce
  • 1 teaspoon miso (or additional tamari)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the peeled and chopped sweet potato, broccoli florets, diced onion, rinsed chickpeas, diced tomatoes, coconut milk, quinoa, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated turmeric, tamari sauce, miso, and chili flakes into a slow cooker. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Cook: Set the slow cooker to high heat and cook the mixture for 3 to 4 hours. The dish is ready when the sweet potatoes are tender, the quinoa is fully cooked, and the curry has thickened to a creamy consistency.

Notes

  • You can adjust the chili flakes according to your preferred spice level, starting with 1/2 teaspoon for mild heat and increasing if desired.
  • Using freshly grated turmeric gives a brighter flavor, but ground turmeric works well as a substitute.
  • Full-fat coconut milk will provide a richer curry, while lite coconut milk reduces calories and fat content.
  • Make sure to rinse quinoa before adding to remove its natural bitterness.
  • This curry freezes well for up to 3 months; reheat thoroughly before serving.
