Coconut Red Curry Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine 1/2 to Tbsp Red Curry paste (I like it spicy -- so I use 1 Tbsp) with one can of coconut milk. (I use light coconut milk to save calories/fat).
• Simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil, 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, 3 tsp Fish Sauce, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/3 cup chicken stock, and 1/2 cup of your favorite mushrooms (I use the Japanese style and shitake). Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• While you are simmering -- saute the chopped peppers (1 or 2 inch pieces) and chopped onion in a frying pan or wok lightly covered in olive oil. Fry lightly peppered chicken breasts till cooked through.
• Place sauteed peppers and onions on bowls of rice and spoon curry sauce over rice. You can either use curry sauce to lightly flavor rice or more as a soupy type mixture. I use short grain brown rice -- but any type is fine. Add cut chicken breast or other meat/tofu if desired.

Steps:

• In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute onion until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in curry paste and sugar., Stir in vegetables, garbanzo beans, 3 cups broth, tomatoes and coconut milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 35-40 minutes., Stir in remaining broth; heat through. Serve with cilantro and, if desired, lime wedges and rice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil, broth, or water in a large soup pot. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until the onion is golden. Add the carrots, potatoes, and 2 cups water and bring to a rapid simmer. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are about half tender.
• Add the cauliflower, ginger, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, chili peppers (if desired), and coconut milk. Return to a simmer; add the green beans or asparagus. Continue to simmer gently, covered, until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes longer.
• Mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon to thicken the stew's base. Stir in the spinach and cilantro and cook just until the spinach is wilted. The stew should have a thick consistency, with just enough liquid to warrant serving it in bowls rather than on a plate. Adjust the liquid with water or nondairy milk, keeping in mind that as the stew stands, it will thicken. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, madras curry, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, about 1 minute. Add the parsnips, sweet potatoes and red lentils and cook until warm, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the vegetable stock and coconut milk. Simmer until the vegetables are tender and the lentils are cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute more. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with the Fresno chile, fresh mint and a lime wedge. Serve with grilled naan if desired.

Steps:

• For the rice: Combine the water and rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, adjust to a low simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, and all the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered. (Tip: don't stir the rice while it's cooking.)
• For the curry: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper, zucchini, eggplant and onion and cook, stirring, until crisp tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine the tomatoes, garam masala, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, cayenne, garlic and ginger in a medium pot, bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Careful of splashing, pour in coconut milk and add the coconut oil, turn off heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Puree with hand stick blender (or in batches in a blender) until smooth.
• Add the cooked vegetables to the curry sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Toast or grill the naan or pita bread until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut into pieces.
• For serving: Fill bowls with some rice and then top with some curry. Sprinkle with scallion and serve with a piece of naan or pita bread.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add baby corn, chicken, water chestnuts, chickpeas, curry paste, and garlic powder; stir until well coated.
• Add coconut milk, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Stir until mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer veggies to a bowl and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and add coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, and fish sauce to the pan. Whisk together and bring to a gentle boil.
• Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl; whisk to dissolve. Add to sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Pat shrimp dry and add to the sauce along with the cooked veggies. Allow curry to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through and opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with Thai basil and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and fry the onions and ginger for a few minutes until starting to soften. Add the sweet potatoes or squash and cook a few minutes more. Stir in the curry powder, cumin and cinnamon stick, then tip in the tomatoes, two cans of water and the bouillon powder. Bring to the boil.
• Once boiling, tip in all the beans. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 mins. Stir in the cabbage and yogurt, then cook for 5 mins more until all the vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes, then serve half of the stew straightaway, leaving the remaining half to cool for later (if you're following the vegan Healthy Diet Plan). Once cool, the remaining stew will keep chilled for up to a day. Reheat in a pan over a medium-low heat until piping hot and bubbling.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large stew pot.
• Add red curry paste. Sauté for 1 minute. Add beef and brown on all sides. Add onions and carrots and sauté until onions are soft. Add potatoes, coconut milk, fish sauce, canned corn, and brown sugar. Cover and simmer for approximately 1 to 2 hours or until meat is tender.
• Garnish with peanuts and cilantro.
