Vegan Thai Green
Cocnut Curry
Vegan and Gluten-Free, this versatile meal can be personalized based on your vegetable preference. I love adding cauliflower for a hearty option. This meal is great for a family or a crowd, or make extras and freeze in single portions for an on-the-go lunch option.
Ingredients
3 cups of vegetable stock
1 small can of lite coconut milk
1-cup red lentils (uncooked)
2 cups of cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
4 large carrots, made into ribbons
1 large zucchini, halved and sliced
2 cups of fresh spinach, packed
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small white onion, diced
1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 Tbsp. green curry paste (more if you like it extra spicy)
2 Tbsp. soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
1 Tbsp. of fresh ginger, minced
1 Tbsp. ground turmeric
1 lime, juiced (or 2 tsp of rice vinegar)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (2 Tbsp. in the mixture, reserve the rest for topping)
Directions
1. In a large skillet, cook onion, jalapeno, and garlic in 2 Tbsp. vegetable stock medium heat until translucent, add green curry paste, ginger, and turmeric, and mix well. Cook for an additional minute.
2. To the same skillet add remaining vegetable stock, coconut milk, and soy sauce. Mix well and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
3. Add lentils, cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini. Cover and cook until vegetables are slightly tender (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
3. Uncover and add spinach, cilantro, and lime juice. Cook for additional 5 minutes uncovered to allow the sauce to reduce a little.
4. Top with cilantro and serve with rice of choice (we love jasmine).
