Inspired by Kelly's last post....

This past Thanksgiving I learned that after all these years of avoiding the sweet potatoes, I actually like them a lot. This recipe was inspired by those delish potatoes (thanks mom) and Kelly's last post (LOVE curry).

Coconut Curry with Yams and Chickpeas

olive oil
couple cloves of garlic
about 1/2 inch piece of peeled and grated ginger
half an onion
1 yam or sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 cup chickpeas
1/2-1 tsp of the following:
cumin
coriander
turmeric
paprika
cayenne
curry powder
about half a can of light coconut milk


Heat oil, saute garlic and ginger for minute or two. Add onion and yams and saute for about 5 minutes. Add pepper and saute a couple minutes more. Add spices and stir 2 more minutes until well mixed. Add chickpeas and a little bit of water, turn heat to medium, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until yams are soft enough for your liking. Add coconut milk and simmer another 5 minutes. Deeelicious over qunioa.
