Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable broth or water
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
4 medium potatoes, any variety, peeled and diced
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
1 to 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger, or to taste
2 to 3 teaspoons good- quality curry powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 to 2 small fresh hot chili peppers, seeded and minced (optional)
1 (15-ounce) can light coconut milk
8 to 10 ounces green beans (fresh or organic frozen) or slender asparagus, cut into 1- to 2-inch lengths
3 to 4 ounces baby spinach
1/4 to 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

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.

Thumbs up for this recipe! The stew was creamy, flavorful, and packed with vegetables. I used a red curry paste, and it had just the right amount of heat. I served it over jasmine rice and it was a perfect meal. Will definitely make this again!

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I used a green curry paste, and I think next time I'll use a red or yellow paste instead. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the overall flavor was very well-balanced.
