1 tbsp coconut oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

1 bell pepper (any color), chopped

2 medium carrots, sliced

1 zucchini, diced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup cauliflower florets

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 cups vegetable broth

2 tbsp red curry paste (adjust to taste)

1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

    Add Vegetables: Incorporate the bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, green beans, and cauliflower. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

      Mix in the Coconut Base: Stir in the red curry paste, turmeric, and ground cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.

        Pour in the Liquids: Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine everything, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Season and Sweeten: Add soy sauce and brown sugar (or maple syrup). Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper as needed.

            Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally.

              Finish with Greens: Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and add the lime juice for a burst of freshness.

                Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls, garnishing with fresh cilantro. Enjoy with steamed rice, quinoa, or enjoy it solo for a delightful vegan meal!
