Vegan Pumpkin Bread

One of the nicest things anyone ever did for me was gift me with a pumpkin, zucchini loaf after I had my first daughter.  My dear friend Carolyn didn't bring cute baby toys or sparkly clothes, she brought me food!
Being a busy mom of three herself, Carolyn knew the challenges new moms faced & I, having no concept of the hard things before me, was super grateful for the grab'n'go, ready-to-eat, healthy food!
I remember how delicious that bread was but mostly, I remember feeling so thankful that I was able to fill my hunger during a time when the needs of my newborn, coupled with my lack of parenting experience, aka stress, as a new mom.  I learned quickly that when you find 5 minutes, brush your teeth & when baby sleeps, sleep because what little time I had left was barely enough to make food to eat!
To this day, I think of my friend Carolyn every time I enjoy vegetable loaves so I hope you enjoy this rendition I created inspired from all those years ago!

This chickpea curry creation came to fruition after years of delicious attempts.  After finally nailing it, it is now one of our family's fave go-to & so I'm excited to share it here with you with the hopes that you might discover the same!
This isn't your basic curry as it has over 11 different beautiful spices that synergistically blend to become a rich & robust meal AND... it has 5 different vegetables for a high vibe, nutrient dense, delicious dish!
You can easily add more such as potatoes, kale, chard or even spinach AND... last but not least, it contains one of my favourite plant protein legumes: chickpeas, making it a whole lot of nutrition packed in a single meal!

Ingredients List:
1/4 c coconut oil
6 whole cloves or 1 tsp ground
1/2 tsp ground cinnnamon
1 T cardamom
1 tsp black salt: can use sea salt
1 tsp ground tumeric
1/2 tsp cumin
1 T garam masala
2 T curry powder
2 tsp ginger, minced
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 lrg onion, diced
1/4 c cauliflower, chopped
1 c frozen peas
28 oz can of diced tomatoes
400 ml can of coconut milk
19 oz can of chickpeas
1/2 c cilantro, chopped
2 limes, juiced

Recommended Tips:
  • AMP UP FLAVOURS BY TOASTING SPICES: this helps to pull out the flavours & maximizes the synergy they offer to the overall dish
  • Whole cloves help to elevate this dish especially when left overnight to marinate & blend together
  • Cardamom: if you don’t have cardamom seeds, you can use powder or even substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of ground allspice
  • Tomatoes bring together the sweetness of the coconut milk & help to balance out the dish with an acidic element
Method:
  • Add oil to large sauce pan & heat over medium heat.
  • Toast the spices: cloves, cardamom, cinnamon [can use 1 stick], black salt, ginger.
  • Heat for about 2 min or until fragrant but stay close so they don’t burn!
  • Add onion, garlic, jalapeno, ginger, salt & pepper & saute for one minute
  • Add tomatoes, cauliflower & peas & allow to simmer before adding turmeric, cumin, garam masala, curry powder... about 15 minutes
  • Simmer: Add coconut milk & chickpeas. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat & add in the fresh squeezed lime juice &  cilantro. 
  • Can allow to simmer for more robust flavour or serve immediately & decorate with cilantro & lime!
