I like to think of this Weeknight Coconut Curry as one of the most dependable recipes I’ve posted to date. This is the kind of recipe that will get you out of a pinch just when the inevitable after-work conundrum sets-in and you find yourself wondering what to make for dinner … We all get busy, we all get tired, and it’s just a little too easy to hang-up your apron and call it quits on a Wednesday (I know you hear me). But this meal, dear reader, is a life saver. Aside from being vegan and gluten-free (as well as loaded with all those yummy anti-inflammatory spices!) it’s also endlessly versatile and can help you use those leftover veggies in your refrigerator drawer, all while making your kitchen smell lovely.

This Weeknight Coconut Curry is a hearty meal that comes together quickly and is a perfect way to use seasonable and affordable veggies that you have available to you. Once you learn the base, you can improvise and make it your own each and every time!
