Ingredients

Coconut Carrot Curry

• 1 can lite coconut milk*
• 3-4 carrots, tops removed and cut in long quarters
• 1 Tbs curry powder
• 1/2 Tbs cumin
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• Salt & black pepper to taste

*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)

Directions

1. Begin by preheating the oven to 400ºF.
2. Prepare your carrots and transfer them to a baking sheet.
3. Lightly drizzle the carrots with a splash of olive oil and rub it into the carrots.
4. Place carrots in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until they begin to crisp and soften.
5. Meanwhile, prepare your remaining vegetables.
6. In a skillet, heat 1 Tbs olive oil on high heat. Begin sautéing the onions and garlic.
7. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant.
8. Add the curry paste to the vegetables.
9. Then, add the bell pepper, squash, and cabbage. Stir together for 7 minutes.
10. Set the heat to low and add the garbanzo beans and mushrooms.
11. Cover the skillet and keep on very low.
12. By this point, your carrots should be ready.
13. If you are using an immersion blender, transfer the carrots to a medium stovetop pot and about 1/4 cup of coconut milk. Gradually blend the coconut milk, remaining seasonings, and carrots together until thick and smooth
14. If you are using a food processor or blender, simply add the carrots, coconut milk, and remaining seasonings to the appliance and blend together until smooth.
