Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil or oil of choice
- ½ cup yellow onion sliced
- 1 cup carrot diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 3-4 garlic finely chopped or minced, cloves
- 1 tsp ginger fresh
- ½ cup basil 75 oz. clamshell, tightly packed, stems and all
- 1 cup cilantro tightly packed, stems and all
- 14 oz. coconut milk can
- vegetable stock to thin as desired, optional ¼ - ½ cup
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- rice for serving
Garnishes:
- lime wedges
- cashews chopped
- scallions chopped
- cilantro chopped, additional
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add broccoli and carrots, for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, and adding pinches of salt along the way.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the herbs (stems and all!), then add them to in a mini food processor or blender, and puree until finely chopped. Add the coconut milk to the food processor and pulse until the herbs and milk are fully incorporated (30 seconds to 1 minute). Set aside.
- To the skillet, add the red bell pepper, garlic, and ginger to the vegetable mix, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir the coconut milk mixture in with the vegetables in the skillet and bring to a low simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add vegetable stock as desired. Remember to add salt along the way, and taste test at the end, adjusting for salt levels (you will need enough salt to bring out the flavors in the sauce). Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Serve with rice. Garnish with chopped cashews, scallions, and cilantro, as desired.

Notes
- A note about serving size: on its own (without any additional sides or protein mains) this serves two in my household with a tiny bit extra (that always gets eaten anyway). It can stretch to 4 servings with additional items served alongside or for smaller portions.
- The nutrition guideline is based on 4 servings without rice.
