How to Make Vegan Coconut Curry

  1. Cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package directions.
  2. While quinoa cooks, finely chop 1 medium onion, 1 red bell pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic.
  3. In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup of vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of chopped spinach or kale during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  7. Once the curry has thickened slightly, taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve the coconut curry over the cooked quinoa. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts (optional).
