Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (15oz) can unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- 1/3 cup no sugar added peanut butter
- juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- In a large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan, heat avocado oil over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until softened.
- Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, garlic and fresh ginger (add more oil if necessary). Season with turmeric, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the Thai red curry paste and soy sauce then stir well to evenly distribute.
- Pour the vegetable broth, coconut milk and peanut butter into the skillet, stirring everything together. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or when sweet potatoes are tender (test by piercing with a fork for doneness).
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the lime juice, stirring everything together. Taste the curry and add any additional salt and pepper if necessary. Use a ladle to transfer half of the curry to a high powered blender or food processor. Blend on high for 1 minute until the sweet potatoes and carrots are completely puréed and the sauce is smooth. (If you have a hand blender, use that instead to blend half of the curry).
- Pour the blended curry back into the skillet and stir one last time. Serve immediately over a bowl of white rice or on it’s own. Enjoy!
