Vegan Coconut Curry With Spinach Over Millet Recipes

30-MINUTE COCONUT CURRY

Steps:

• If serving with coconut quinoa, begin by washing thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer. Add to a medium saucepan over medium heat and toast for 3 minutes. Add light coconut milk and 1/2 cup water (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is light, fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside until serving.
• In the meantime, heat a large saucepan or pot to medium heat and add coconut oil. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, carrot, broccoli and a pinch each salt and pepper and stir. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened - about 5 minutes.
• Add curry powder, cayenne (or chili pepper), veggie stock, coconut milk, another healthy pinch of salt and stir. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat slightly and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes.
• Add the snow peas and tomatoes in the last 5 minutes so they don't overcook.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I added another pinch or two of salt.
• Serve over coconut quinoa (see other options below in notes) and garnish with fresh lemon juice and herbs.
