About this recipe
Jerk Chickpea Curry – A Warming Vegetarian Caribbean Curry
This Jerk Chickpea and Spinach Curry is rich, warming and full of flavour. Chickpeas are simmered in a tomato and coconut sauce with jerk seasoning, garlic, herbs and spices, then finished with fresh spinach for colour and goodness.
It is comforting, affordable and perfect for meat-free dinners. The jerk sauce gives the curry a beautiful depth of flavour, adding spice and warmth without making it complicated.
Chef’s Tips
Let the curry simmer gently so the chickpeas absorb the flavour. Mash a few chickpeas into the sauce to naturally thicken it. Add lime juice at the end for brightness.
