Easy Vegetable Curry



I'm a sucker for curries.  Just love 'em I do.  This one is extra amazing because it's packed full of vegetables and anti-inflammatory spices.  And the best part, it's a throw-it-all-in-one-pot meal that can be ready for your family in 20 minutes!  And if you're lucky like me, your toddler will say, "mmm, this is good," while gobbling it up.




INGREDIENTS:

- 2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil
- 4 to 5 cups fresh or frozen vegetables, cut or julienned into bite sized pieces (I use broccoli, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms and snow peas)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 teaspoons fish sauce
- 3 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3/4 teaspoon coriander
- 3 dashes of nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon mild curry powder
- 1 to 3 dashes of cayenne (3 makes it fairly spicy, so leave out or add less if you want it extra mild)
- optional: rice for serving curry over (I use this kind)
- optional: sea salt for sprinkling over top of servings


DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the vegetables, garlic, fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, coconut aminos ginger and spices.  Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Add the coconut milk and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

3. Remove kaffir leaves from curry and discard, then serve as is, or pour over steamed rice.

Enjoy!
