French Toast with an Indian Twist
- Prep time
15 minutes - Cooking time
25 minutes - 4 portions
2 eggs
¼ cup of milk
4 slices of St-Méthode Sprouted Wheat Belgian Bread
2 tbsp of butter
½ cup of crushed peanuts
½ cup of chopped coriander
For the curry
1 tbsp of olive oil
1 red onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp of yellow curry paste (or to taste)
1 pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
1 piece of ginger about 1-inch long, grated
1 can of chickpeas
2 handfuls of spinach
1 can of coconut milk
1 tbsp of tahini
1 tsp of brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
- In a pot or a wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, curry paste, cayenne, and ginger, coating the onions as you continue cooking for another minute.
- Add the chickpeas and continue cooking for 3 minutes.
- Next, add the spinach, coconut milk, tahini, and brown sugar; season to taste. Simmer—without bringing to a boil—for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Brown the bread slices for 3 minutes; then, flip them over and continue cooking until golden brown.
- Plate the bread slices and top with the curry. Garnish with peanuts and coriander. Serve.
