Coconut Curried Vegetable Stew

Ingredients for Coconut Curried Vegetable Stew

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable broth or water

• 1 cipolla media, tritata finemente

• 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 cucchiaino di cumino macinato

• 1/2 cucchiaini di curcuma

• 1 to 2 small fresh hot chilli peppers, seeded and minced (optional)

• 1 (425g) can light coconut milk

• 8 to 275g green beans (fresh or organic frozen) or slender asparagus, cut into 1- to 2-inch lengths

• 3 to 110g baby spinach

• 1/4 to 1/2 cup minced fresh coriander, plus more for topping

• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

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 475ml 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, chilli 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 coriander 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.
