  1. 01In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 03Add canned diced tomatoes with their juice, low-sodium vegetable broth, and most of the chickpeas (reserving 60 g for the koftas). Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. 04Stir in dried apricot halves and 2.5 g salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. 05While curry simmers, make koftas: In a bowl, mash the reserved 60 g chickpeas. Mix in plain Greek yogurt, 60 g of cooked quinoa, and remaining 0.5 g salt. Shape into small firm balls.
  6. 06Gently drop koftas into simmering curry. Cover and simmer 5-7 minutes until koftas are set and heated through.
