Recipe
Coconut Curry and Jasmine Rice
3 variety of potatoes peeled
1 red pepper chopped
4 carrots peeled
1 tsp grated ginger or more to taste grated
6 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 onion chopped small
1-2 cups broccoli heads made into bite size pieces
3-4 cups of broth or as needed
1 can of coconut milk
2 cups of sprouted lentils
2 tbs of curry powder
Cilantro bunch for garnish
2 cups of rice
Instructions
-
Cut the carrots, potatoes, and red peppers into similar size pieces to roast first
-
Coat the veggies in olive oil, salt, and curry powder and mix evenly in a large bowl.
-
Place the veggies in the oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes. (Check to make sure the veggies are tender at the end.)
-
Once the veggies are in the oven, combine 3 1/2 cups of water into a pot with 1/2 cup of coconut milk or half the can. Add a tablespoon of honey. Add the rice and bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until water is almost absorbed. Check on it regularly. Once done let sit for 10 minutes then fluff with a fork. You can add cilantro if you would like - cut up nice and small.
-
While all that is going, in a large sauté pan, add coconut oil, garlic, onions. Cook on medium heat until onions are translucent. Then add 2 cups of veggie stock and lentils. Bring to a boil, then cover for 5 minutes. Add more stock as needed.
-
Add cut up pieces of broccoli and add the 2 tbsp of curry.
-
While that is cooking and the veggies are done in the oven, you can take some veggies aside, 2 cups and add some to the curry.
-
With the veggies on the side put into blender with the other half of can of coconut milk and blend to liquid.
-
Add this to the curry.
-
Taste everything and make sure you like the consistency. You can always add more stock.
-
Serve over rice. Enjoy!
