Thai Coconut Red Curry

IMG_9447

We held our March event last night, and this meal was a hit! Our guest chef cooked a healthy, quick, two pot vegetarian meal packed with protein and vegetables! And we all left with full belly’s and left overs.

I didn’t take pictures last night, but I snapped a few of the leftovers I just devoured ate.

Ingredients:

2 cans of coconut cream/milk

1/2 can or jar of red curry paste (can purchase at Kroger, Walmart, or an international store)

8 oz of sliced mushrooms

1 red bell pepper

1 green bell pepper

4 leaves of basil

2 stocks of celery

1 small white onion

1 small box of Tofu (could substitute for chicken, or for additional veggies)

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

1 pinch of garlic powder

1 pinch of sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Red chili flakes to taste (for additional spice)

Directions: 

  1. In a large pot, combine coconut milk, a half of cup of water, soy sauce, salt, and red curry paste on high heat.

  3. After the cream is boiling, add the vegetables (except basil) and Tofo to the pot and turn down to medium heat for about 15 minutes.

I added a little Sriracha for even more spice

Healthy lunch ideas-February

Often times we think it is easier to grab something while we are out, or to go to lunch with a co-worker, but the truth is, it becomes expensive and unhealthy.

This month we have selected seven lunch ideas that can be easily prepared over the weekend, or for dinner (make a double batch for lunch time left-overs).

Sunday: Honey Sriracha Tofu and Brown Rice

Monday: Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos

Tuesday: Grilled Zucchini and Hummus Wrap

Wednesday: Tomato, Mozzarella, and Basil Panini

Thursday: Chickpea Salad Sandwich

Friday: Caramelized Onion, Mushroom, and Swiss Melt

Saturday: Tomato and Mozzarella Quinoa Burgers

My favorite is the grilled zucchini and hummus wrap. For those who don’t love hummus, try the flavored versions, especially the black bean hummus…it is to die for!
