Mogau Seshoene is a fan of Veganuary – if only because it helps her reimagine veggies and cook them in more delicious ways. This vegan roast butternut-and-chickpea curry is one of her favourites

Ingredients

1 butternut 1, peeled and cubed (or 300 g prepared butternut cubes)
¼ cup olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 onion, chopped
1 t fresh ginger, minced
1 t garlic, minced
1 t turmeric
2 t ground cumin
1 tomato, grated
¼ cup water
1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained
½ can coconut milk
fresh coriander, to garnish

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C. Place the butternut on a baking tray and drizzle with 2 T olive oil. Season, then roast until tender, about 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a pan and season. Add the onion and saut for 1 minute. Add the ginger, garlic and spices, then fry until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.

3. Add the tomato and water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.

4. Add the chickpeas and butternut, and stir to coat. Add the coconut milk and stir to combine. Garnish with coriander.
