This spring vegetable coconut curry bowl has a colorful medley of asparagus, snow peas and carrots in a mild and fragrant coconut curry sauce. It is perfect served with rice, noodles or quinoa.
Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand. Cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, peas and cooked sweet potato would all be great in this curry. For extra protein, throw in a handful of tofu cubes
The curry recipe is dairy-free, but creamy at the same time. The secret ingredient here is nut butter. A few spoonfuls of almond or cashew butter make the curry deliciously rich and thick.
