Knowledge Bombs:

• Kale is a great source of fiber which will give you healthier gut bacteria.
• Broccoli has disease fighting nutrients that can decrease signs of aging.
• Coconut milk will help lower cholesterol which leads to a healthy heart.
• As you can see, this dish is all about giving back to your body!

Method:

In a medium saucepan, add the coconut oil and set over medium-high heat. Add the onions, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the pot and cook until they start to release their liquid and are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the peas, broccoli, and kale to the pot and stir a few times, cooking another 1 to 2 minutes more.

Add the coconut milk, curry paste, and lime juice to the pot and bring the stew to a low boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft, and the stew is slightly thickened. Then add cilantro, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste, and serve. Serve over jasmine rice or cauliflower rice.
