Easy Vegan Curry

Easy Vegan Curry

This Vegan Curry recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make, including prep time! Fresh vegetables, sweet potatoes and curry spices are simmered in coconut milk. A great way to get your veggies in and totally customizable: switch things up by using a variety of vegetables you have on hand, or adding chickpeas or tofu. This recipe is inspired by my sister-in-law who is Vegan and made us this dish while we were in Seattle visiting. When I made this recipe, I did not use broccoli or cauliflower, because we couldn't find organic, and instead used sliced mushrooms and chickpeas. I recommend you serve this dish with white rice.

Ingredients

The vegetables:
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 medium sweet potato
2-3 cups cauliflower florets
2-3 cups broccoli florets
2 medium sized carrots
1 red bell pepper

The rest:
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons curry powder
(1) 15-ounce can coconut milk
1-2 cups water, as needed to nearly cover the vegetables
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 lime, juice squeezed
2 cups fresh baby spinach
fresh chopped cilantro, optional

Instructions

First, prepare your vegetables: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, peel and dice the sweet potato small, chop the cauliflower/broccoli, peel and slice the carrots and dice/slice the red pepper.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. Now add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 more minute. Add the curry powder and saute 1-2 minutes more, until fragrant.
To the pot, add the sweet potato, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and red pepper. Pour in the coconut milk, and enough water to just nearly cover the vegetables. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and stir it all together. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, until the sweet potato and other vegetables are tender.
Now stir in the maple syrup, lime juice and the spinach until it wilts. Taste; season with more salt if desired. Serve hot with rice, fresh cilantro, and hot sauce.
