COCONUT VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cayenne, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garam masala, curry powder and a large pinch of salt in a medium Dutch oven. Stir to combine and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a strong simmer, lower the heat to medium, partially cover the pot with a lid (this will prevent splattering) and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the coconut milk. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender or in a regular blender (if using a regular blender, remove the small cap in the lid and cover the top with a kitchen towel to release steam as you blend, then return the sauce to the pot). Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, onion and a large pinch of salt to the pot. Stir to combine and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a strong simmer, then lower the heat to medium, partially cover with a lid (this will prevent from splattering) and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the coconut oil until melted, about 30 seconds. Season to taste with additional salt if needed.
• Meanwhile, combine the jasmine rice and 1 1/3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
• Divide the rice and curry between 4 bowls, sprinkle with the scallions and serve.

COCONUT CURRIED VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil, broth, or water in a large soup pot. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until the onion is golden. Add the carrots, potatoes, and 2 cups water and bring to a rapid simmer. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are about half tender.
• Add the cauliflower, ginger, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, chili peppers (if desired), and coconut milk. Return to a simmer; add the green beans or asparagus. Continue to simmer gently, covered, until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes longer.
• Mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon to thicken the stew's base. Stir in the spinach and cilantro and cook just until the spinach is wilted. The stew should have a thick consistency, with just enough liquid to warrant serving it in bowls rather than on a plate. Adjust the liquid with water or nondairy milk, keeping in mind that as the stew stands, it will thicken. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
