Kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder or hot paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 small plum tomatoes, cut into wedges

Add the potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower and serrano; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the green beans and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 5 minutes. Thin the curry with water, if necessary. Discard the serrano and season with salt. Serve with rice and top with cilantro.

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.

THAI-INSPIRED COCONUT CURRY SOUP WITH VEGETABLES



Thai-Inspired Coconut Curry Soup With Vegetables image

There are dozens of types of curries in Thailand, but most can be categorized as red, green or yellow; this is a streamlined vegetarian version of a red curry, named after the color of chile found in the curry paste. This one is spicy, sweet, creamy and adaptable. When the red curry paste is cooked in oil, the blend of chiles and aromatics like galangal and lemongrass come alive and become the curry's backbone. Because store-bought pastes vary in intensity, this recipe also uses fresh garlic and ginger to ensure a zingy final result. Use any vegetables you like, but it's nice to have one hearty vegetable (like sweet potato) and one crisp one (like snow peas) for a mix of textures. If you find your curry too spicy, stir in a bit of brown sugar. If it's feeling a bit flat, squeeze in a little lime juice or add a dash of soy or fish sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup chopped sweet potato, carrots, parsnips, cauliflower or winter squash
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, finely grated (no need to peel)
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup chopped snow peas, bok choy, snap or frozen peas, edamame or green beans
1 lime
Cilantro or basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
  • While the noodles cook, in a medium pot, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato, ginger, garlic and red curry paste. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a shade darker and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk, snow peas, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the snow peas are bright green and the sweet potato is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Cut the lime in half; squeeze one half into the curry and cut the other half into four wedges. Divide the noodles among bowls, top with the curry and herbs. Squeeze more lime juice over as desired.
