Green Coconut Curry

Green Coconut Curry with fresh lemongrass makes for a hearty but not-to-heavy meal. This Green Coconut Curry is perfect all year round. For a creamier curry, we recommend substituting the vegetable broth for a second can of lite coconut milk. And we recommend trying this curry with steamed mussels.

Ingredients

Green Coconut Curry

• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 1 can lite coconut milk*
• 1-2 cups vegetable broth (depending on the preferred liquid levels)
• 1 Tbs Green Curry Paste
• 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• Black pepper to taste
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• Splash of rice vinegar
• 1 stalk lemongrass

*Light coconut milk is a low-fat alternative. You may also substitute for unsweetened, unflavored soy or nut milk, cow’s milk (for non-vegan), or you may dilute regular coconut milk with water (i.e. 2/3 cup coconut milk + 1/3 cup water for a recipe that calls for 1 cup)
