Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (Paleo-compliant, no sugar or preservatives)
- 14 ounces full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth (Paleo-compliant)
- 2 medium zucchini, chopped
- 2 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (Paleo-compliant, optional for depth of flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cups cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is melted and shimmering, add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the Thai red curry paste to the pan and stir well to combine with the aromatics. Cook for another minute to activate the flavors.
Pour in the coconut milk and Paleo-compliant vegetable broth. Stir until the curry paste is fully incorporated into the liquids.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the zucchini, carrot, red bell pepper, broccoli, and mushrooms. Stir to coat the vegetables in the curry sauce.
Cover the skillet and let the vegetables simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
Reduce the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice, optional fish sauce, sea salt, and black pepper. Adjust flavor as needed by adding more lime juice or salt.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top of the curry.
Serve the curry hot over cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal, or enjoy it as is. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
