Gather Your Ingredients

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
• 4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
• 1 (13- to 14-ounce) can unsweetened regular or light coconut milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 large head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1-inch florets
• 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup packed Thai basil leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Let’s Get Cooking!

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1 teaspoon of the salt, then cook, stirring occasionally, until softened – about 6 minutes. Next, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Adding the Aromatics

Add the curry paste, stirring to coat the onions, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add the coconut milk, water, soy sauce, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine, and bring to a lively simmer.

Bringing it All Together

Add the cauliflower, chickpeas, and green beans, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover with a tightfitting lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is just tender – about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the basil leaves and lime juice. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
