Cooking time

40 minutes

Serves

4

Ingredients

  • Olive oil for frying
  • 250g frozen chopped onion
  • 400g frozen sweet potato chunks
  • Four tablespoons tikka spice paste
  • 400g tin of chickpeas
  • 400g tin quality plum tomatoes
  • 300g bag of sliced spring greens
  • Four tablespoons natural yoghurt or non-dairy alternative, to serve
  • Cooked rice or naan, to serve
  • Mango chutney, to serve (optional)

Method

Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil into a large wide shallow pan on a high heat. Add the onion and sweet potato and cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the curry paste and cook for 10 minutes, scraping up any sticky bits from the base of the pan.

Add the chickpeas, juice and all, and mash a few with a fork. Scrunch in the tomatoes and add one tin’s worth of water. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes, until thickened.

Push the curry to one side of the pan. Add the sliced spring greens, then cover and simmer for 5 minutes, until wilted.

Stir half the greens through the curry, then divide the curry and a side of greens between warm plates and serve with rice or warm naans, a dollop of yoghurt and mango chutney, if you like.

Better Baskets

Tesco Good Food Ambassador Jamie Oliver has created a selection of seasonal recipes in collaboration with WWF and Tesco as part of the supermarket's Better Baskets initiative, which aims to make it easier for customers to make healthy and sustainable choices.

“These three new recipes are packed with wonderful veg and are super flexible, so home cooks can use what they already have in the fridge or swap in whatever veg is in season," says Jamie Oliver. "They're also affordable, really quick to rustle up, and full of flavour - so will hopefully provide inspiration for the whole family.”

Tesco is also working with its partner WWF to halve the environmental impact of shopping baskets, reducing the impact of food production and tackling food and packaging waste.
