Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large purple potato cooked until tender, then cubed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
3 tablespoons fresh chopped ginger
2 tablespoons red curry paste or substitute a high-quality curry powder
1 small habanero pepper (optional)
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup diced red pepper
3/4 cup diced yellow pepper
3/4 cup diced zucchini
3/4 cup diced yellow squash
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a saucepot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add red onion, garlic and ginger, stirring continuously so as not to burn. After 2 minutes add the curry paste, habanero and bay leaves until well incorporated. Add peppers and stir again cooking for 2 minutes. Add zucchini and squash and cook for another 2 minutes. The mixture should be well coated at this point. If it starts to burn, lower the heat and add a little water to stop the burning on the bottom of the pan. Add the coconut milk and cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for at least a 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • During the cooking process you can adjust the balance of moisture by adding water or coconut milk so the consistency stays stew like. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve over rice.

I followed the recipe exactly but my stew turned out bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of curry powder.

This stew is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The flavor is complex and interesting.

This stew is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a good source of protein, thanks to the beans.

I'm not usually a fan of vegetable stews, but this one is really good. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes and the spiciness of the peppers balance each other out perfectly.

This stew is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love the addition of coconut milk. It gives the stew a creamy, rich texture.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini, carrots, and green beans that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the stew. It turned out great! The vegetables were tender and flavorful.
