Thai Inspired Peanutty Veggie Curry with Tempeh
Ingredients:
– 1 package of tempeh, cubed
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 small zucchini, sliced
– 1 small yellow squash, sliced
– 1 can of coconut milk
– 1/4 cup peanut butter
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons red curry paste
– 1 tablespoon agave nectar
– Juice of 1 lime
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tempeh and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the tempeh from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the veggies are slightly tender but still crisp.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, red curry paste, agave nectar, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Pour the peanut sauce over the veggies in the skillet and stir to combine. Add the cooked tempeh back to the skillet and stir gently to coat everything in the sauce.
5. Simmer the curry over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
7. Serve the Thai Inspired Peanutty Veggie Curry over cooked rice or quinoa and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
