“This recipe is ridiculously simple, so fast to throw together, can make totally varied quantities depending on your needs and is basically just perfect for a working/busy family. It’s not the prettiest thing I’ve ever made, but if you pair it with a salad, you have a healthy, balanced meal that will totally blow your mind.”
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean stew beef
- 1 BPA-free can chickpeas (TRY: Eden Organic Garbanzo Beans)
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tbsp Indian curry paste
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Pinch sea salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime juice, to taste
- Low-fat milk, as needed
- 6 whole-wheat pitas
Preparation
- In a 2- to 3-qt slow cooker, add beef and chickpeas. In a medium bowl, combine broth and curry paste; add mixture to slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Transfer contents of slow cooker to skillet and stir in peas. Cook until broth evaporates and mixture resembles a near-dry curry.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, salt, cilantro and lime. If needed, stir in milk to reach desired sauce-like consistency. Stack pitas and wrap in foil. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, until heated through.
- Spoon curry mixture into centers of pitas, dividing evenly. Wrap and drizzle with sauce.
