• 3 tbsp red curry paste, homemade or a clean store-bought red curry paste
• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 1 chopped red, yellow, or orange bell peppers
• 1 ½ cups cubed sweet potato
• 1 cup Healing Broth
• 1 14-oz can or 1 ½ cups full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tbsp pure peanut butter or almond butter
• ¼ tsp ground cardamom
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tbsp coconut sugar
• 2-3 tbsp coconut aminos (optional)
• 1-2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• sea salt, to taste (optional)
• ½ cup Thai basil or cilantro, to serve
• 2-3 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts or almonds, to serve (optional)
• 4-6 cups cooked brown rice, millet, quinoa or cauliflower rice, to serve

Red curry paste:

• 1 tbsp coriander seeds
• 1 tbsp cumin seeds
• 8 dried Thai chilies
• 2 fresh long red hot peppers
• 3 kaffir lime leaves (fresh or dried)
• 3 tbsp chopped shallots
• 2 tbsp roughly chopped galangal or ginger
• 5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 2 stalks of lemongrass, roughly chopped
• 6 sprigs cilantro
• 1 tbsp grated lime zest

Directions:

If making the homemade curry paste, toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a small pan over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add to a food processor together with the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Place a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5-8 minutes, until soft and browned. Add the garlic and curry paste and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the cauliflower, bell pepper, sweet potato, healing broth, coconut milk, nut butter, spices, and coconut sugar to the pan. Stir until evenly mixed. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Add the coconut aminos (if using), lime juice, and optional sea salt to the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice as needed.

Serve the curry immediately with fresh Thai basil or cilantro, chopped roasted peanuts (if using), and brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
