Jamie Oliver’s Quick Veggie Curry

Share

Jamie Oliver’s veggie curry is quick to make but you’ll want to savor every bite of this filling and flavorful veggie curry.

From Tesco Good Food Ambassador, Jamie Oliver, this simple curry recipe uses seasonal vegetables in collaboration with WWF and Tesco, as part of the supermarket’s new Better Baskets initiative.

The Quick Veggie Curry features chickpeas as the star of the show which Oliver says are an inexpensive, plant-based protein that is satisfying for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Oliver says you can swap in whatever vegetables you have in the fridge or whatever is in season. And, he says, the recipe is full of flavor, “so will hopefully provide inspiration for the whole family.”

The Better Baskets campaign is focused on fiber-rich, plant-based foods and those that come in reusable, reduced, or recyclable packaging. In partnership with WWF, Tesco is also working to halve the environmental impact of shopping baskets by tackling food and packaging waste.  

“Eating more plant based meals, even for a few days each week, can significantly reduce the environmental impact of your diet, so we’re pleased to see that Tesco is making this easier – and more affordable – with Better Baskets,” Joanna Trewern, sustainable diets manager at WWF, said. The collaboration with Jamie Oliver helps bring this to life for shoppers with newly created recipes that are delicious, simple, and healthy.”
