Italian Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew
I have outlined the health benefits of curry and cauliflower in a previous post so I’ll focus my time on another aspect here, the chickpeas! Chickpeas are exceptionally high in protein and fibre, not to mention vitamin B-6, iron and magnesium. This dish is complete, satisfying and is a great option for ‘Meatless Monday’.
