Sorry for the lack of posts but I’ve been having computer issues. Hopefully it’s all fixed now!
This recipe may seem a bit time consuming, but once you make the curry paste it’s smooth sailing! And the curry paste recipe will keep for months in the fridge so next time you want to make this it will be even more simple!
Both of these recipes came from my new favorite cook book FEEDING THE WHOLE FAMILY
Homemade Curry Paste
makes 2 cups
1 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 lb onion finely chopped, 1/4 cup whole cumin seeds, 1/4 cup whole coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon whole fenugreek seeds, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, 2 Tablespoons whole mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons allspice, 1 teaspoon cardamom, 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup turmeric, 2 teaspoons cayenne, 1/4 cup peeled, finely chopped ginger.
whew-that’s a lot of spices!!
Heat the oil and saute the onion until very soft.
While the onions are cooking, grind the following whole spices to a fine powder in a coffee or spice grinder— cumin, coriander, fenugreek, cloves, peppercorns and mustard. Add to the onions along with all the other spices and ginger. Let cook for 5 minutes while stirring.
Store in sealed jar in the fridge for several months.
OK now on to the GREENS IN CASHEW CURRY SAUCE
1/4 cup cashew butter (I made this real quick in my food processor), 1 Tablespoon homemade curry paste, 1 Tablespoon tamari or shoyu, 3/4 cup filtered water, 2 cups quick boiled greens.
Blend cashew butter, curry paste, tamari and water in blender until creamy (I used my food processor)
Combine greens and blended sauce in a pan and gently heat before serving.
I chopped up a bunch of kale, chard and raabini and added it to about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of boiling water in my cast iron skillet with a top on it for a few minutes to steam.
Then I added the sauce.
I had some left over quinoa and added that to the greens and sauce.
I ate this for dinner several times this week. And now that I have 2 cups of homemade curry paste in my fridge, I can just whip this up real quick!
I’m finished eating a wonderful tasty supper and yet my mouth is watering all over again! This sounds so good!
