- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven to stock pot, heat olive oil to medium heat. Add onion and sauté 4-5 minutes, until soft. Stir in greens, garlic and ginger and sauté 2-3 minutes or until greens are wilted. Stir in garam masala, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir in the cauliflower, chickpeas, tomatoes and vegetable broth and simmer for about 8-12 minutes or until cauliflower is slightly soft.

Notes
Cooking Tip: Add the spinach at the last minute (with the coconut milk and lime juice) for a brighter green color and larger pieces of spinach. Add a spoonful of creamy peanut butter to thicken it up and provide a nutty flavor (would no longer but nut free).
Variation Tip: If you’d like to add meat, cube 1 pound of boneless chicken thighs and add them to the pot with the onion.
Make it a Meal: Serve over a bed of cooked brown rice, quinoa or another ancient grain and top with crushed peanuts or cashews (would no longer be nut free).
