Preparation

Make your rice with some vegetable stock – it makes it so tasty!
  • In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium-low heat. Once it’s fully melted, add in the garlic, mushrooms and onion. Let simmer until the onion is translucent and the garlic starts to turn brown. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Add the can of coconut milk and 1/2 cup of filtered water, and bring to a boil. Let boil for about 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoon turmeric powder, two bay leaves, and another pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Add the vegetables and bring to a boil for 1-2 minutes, then lower the heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Taste the coconut milk broth and add more salt and pepper if desired, and a pinch of red chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve with long grain white rice and top with cilantro and lime juice.
