Servings: 2 -3
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or coconut oil
- 1 medium onion halved and thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 handful green beans cut or broken into 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
- 1 small eggplant cubed
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes cored, seeded and chopped
- 1 medium sweet potato peeled and spiralized
- 1 can (15-ounce) coconut milk
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste or to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce regular or vegan, soy sauce (regular or gluten-free) or coconut aminos
- 1 small bunch fresh basil Thai if you can find it, leaves torn, reserving some for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce heat to medium and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until it begins to soften, adjusting heat as necessary so the onion doesn't brown.
- Add the red bell pepper and green beans. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until green beans deepen in color.
- Add the eggplant and garlic; cook 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant.
- Add tomatoes, sweet potatoes, coconut milk, vegetable broth and red curry paste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until eggplant and sweet potatoes are tender.
- Add lime juice and fish sauce, soy sauce or coconut aminos. Stir in basil. Serve in bowls. Garnish with additional fresh basil.
Notes
If you don't have a spiralizer, cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
