Hey loves!

Before I transitioned from a vegetarian to a plant-based way of eating, I was an all pasta kinda girl. I made and ate mac ‘n’ cheese, macaroni pie, fettuccine alfredo, spaghetti with tomato sauce and basically any variation of pasta.

Ever since I cut out all animal products from my diet, it has forced me to become more creative in the kitchen. I went from eating the same pasta dishes anytime I cooked to coming up with a new dish almost every week.

I just came up with this amazing vegetable coconut curry and I’m obsessed! It’s so creamy and full of flavour that I knew I had to share this recipe.

The amazing thing about this dish is the fact that it’s completely oil-free! I’ve been trying to reduce the amount of oil I use, so I was pleasantly surprised that this turned out so good without the need for oil of any kind.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 White Onion, Sliced
• 3 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup Broccoli Florets
• 1 Carrot, Chopped
• 1 cup Red Cabbage, Chopped
• 1/3 cup Whole Kernel Corn
• 1 tin Coconut Milk
• 1 1/2 tbsp Curry Powder
• 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1/2 tbsp Cumin
• 1/2 tbsp Coriander
• 1/2 tbsp Tumeric
• Salt & Pepper to Taste
• Cooked Rice

METHOD

1. Start by heating up a splash of water in a pan, and once hot, add your sliced onion. Stir until tender.
2. Sprinkle in your whole wheat flour and whisk together to form a roux.
3. Once the flour has begun to clump together and combine with the water, add your chopped broccoli, carrot, cabbage and corn.
4. Gently pour in the coconut milk and stir everything to combine.
5. Season well with curry, garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper and continue to stir until the spices have been incorporated.
6. Sprinkle in turmeric and give one final stir, then leave to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
7. Serve next to or over rice.

… and that’s it! I’m so happy with how this dish turned out. I got to use so many of my favourite vegetables in one delicious and extremely flavourful meal that I can’t wait to make again!

If you try out this recipe, be sure to send me a photo! I’d love to see your recreations.
