Chickpea & Spinach Satay

I was never a big fan of satay until I tried this recipe - now I love it!! 
This recipe allows you to mix it up in a few ways, below in the ingredients I have given you 2 examples of variations.




What you will need:
1 onion - chopped
2 garlic cloves - finely diced
1 chili - finely diced
1 tin coconut milk
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tin chickpeas - drained
Big handful of spinach
Boiled rice to serve

Variations - 700g pumpkin - pealed & chopped into chunks
                - 1/2 cauliflower - chopped into chunks (as shown in above photo)

How to:
(1) Heat some oil in a large saucepan & cook onion for 4-5mins, or until soft.
(2) Add garlic & chili & cook for another minute, stiring to combine.
(3) Pick a variation, and add vegetable. Pour in coconut milk, bring to boil, cover & simmer for 10mins, or until cooked.
(4) Add peanut butter, soy sauce & chickpeas. Stir to combine & heat through. Add spinach in the last minute.
(5) Once all cooked, remove from heat and serve on a bed of rice.

Note: You can add things like asparagus to add more to the dish. Experiment! 
Also if you're not keen on an over powering peanut flavour, only use 1/4 cup of peanut butter - it works just as well.
