3/18 Dishing up A Little Curry
It’s Sandy stepping in to share a little recipe lovin’ with you. Sherry had a root canal and is currently sleeping through a pain medicine induced state of bliss. Perhaps there is irony in a food blogger not being able to chew, just a funny little universal joke. She’ll be back in full swing tomorrow and sharing more adventures in compassionate consumption.

I made some sassy curry for dinner the other night and jotted the details down to share with you. If you give it a whirl, I hope you enjoy this Thai inspired dish. It is easy to prepare and can be a great way to incorporate some leftover veggies in the fridge. Use the recipe as your guide and your imagination to make it your dinner.
Mung Bean Curry
By S. Boulton
Ingredients:
2 C of soaked and cooked Mung beans (I pre-cooked them for about 20 minutes after they had soaked overnight)
1 C water
1/2 C lite coconut milk
1 finely chopped clove of garlic
1 1/2 tbsp Tamari (soy or liquid aminos)
1 tbsp agave syrup
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp white pepper (more or less depending on your heat preference)
2 C chopped celery cabbage (could use Napa cabbage or either gentle green vegetable)
1/2 C snap peas, cut in half
1/2 C carrots chopped small
1/2 C pepper chopped (I used Anaheim, could use any variety you have)
2 C cooked rice of your choosing. We found the most amazing whole grain red jasmine rice and served it with this, but any rice will do.

Make it Happen:
Boil water, mung beans, coconut milk, garlic and carrots for about 5-7 minutes. Turn down to simmer and add Tamari, agave, curry, coriander, white pepper, snap peas and pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes and then add the celery cabbage. Stir thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes just long enough to soften the cabbage, but not overcooking it. Serve over rice.
Have a delicious day.
