Chickpea, Kale, Cranberry & Coconut Stir Fry

---

This chickpea, kale, cranberry & coconut stir fry is what dreams are made of…

Have you ever had a dream about food while you were sleeping?

I have – in fact, I had a dream about making this specific recipe.

I dreamed that I was cooking this specific stir fry – with this exact combination of seemingly strange ingredients. In my dream, the stir fry was so delicious that I could hardly contain myself with excitement…

I woke up from the dream feeling a little bit confused about why I had combined kale, chickpeas, cranberries, coconut, celery, onion and tahini together (like I said – a seemingly strange combination)… but I knew I had to give it a try in real life.

I wrote down the recipe, got all of the ingredients that I needed and gave it a go!

Honestly – at first I was a little bit unsure about what it would be like, but after my first bite I was hooked. I loved it so much and struggled to share it with my sister, who I had already promised half of it to. She also loved it!

This recipe is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free & sugar-free. It’s also full of healthy plant-based protein, healthy fats, good carbs and fiber.

I hope you love it as much as I do – it’s quite exciting dreaming about food. I dream about food and recipes quite often – do you? Let me know what you think! xo

A little sweet, a little savoury… and a whole lot of creamy, dreamy stir fry perfection!
