Instructions
CURRY PASTE
Add all ingredients to a blender and puree until a paste is formed.
VEGETABLE CURRY
To cook the quinoa or rice, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rinsed grain and continue to simmer for 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and return to the pot. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
Warm a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the oil. Cook the onion, ginger and garlic with a sprinkle of salt for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the asparagus, carrots, and sugar snap peas and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the curry paste and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Pour the coconut milk into the pan, along with ½ cup water. Bring the mixture to a low boil. Reduce heat as necessary to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and cooked through – about 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove the curry from heat and season if needed. Divide the quinoa or rice and curry into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro.
